Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) lies at the heart of
global, regional and national policy agendas, with the goal of
achieving socially and environmentally just development through the
provision of inclusive, equitable quality education for all.
Realising this potential on the African continent, however, calls
for radical transformation of policy and practice. Developing a
transformative agenda requires taking account of the 'learning
crisis' in schools, the inequitable access to a good quality
education, the historical role of education and training in
supporting unsustainable development, and the enormous challenges
involved in complex system change. In the African continent,
sustainable development entails eradicating poverty and inequality,
supporting economically sustainable livelihoods within planetary
boundaries, and averting environmental catastrophe, as well as
dealing with health pandemics and security threats. In addressing
these challenges, the book: explores the meaning of ESD for Africa
in the context of the 'postcolonial condition' critically discusses
the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as well as regional
development agendas draws on a wealth of research evidence and
examples from across the continent engages with contemporary
debates about the skills, competencies and capabilities required
for sustainable development, including decolonising the curriculum
and transforming teaching and learning relationships sets out a
transformative agenda for policy-makers, practitioners, NGOs,
social movements and other stakeholders based on principles of
social and environmental justice. Education for Sustainable
Development in the Postcolonial World is an essential read for
anyone with an interest in education and socially and
environmentally just development in Africa.
