“Sustainable Development is an approach to daily decisions that integrates probable consequences to the environment, the economy and human health and well-being. It is a way of making decisions that balances the needs of today without sacrificing the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.”

Can Education link them all???

If we want our society and our nation to become sustainable, education must be the input. The most important way to make a sustainable society is to educate the individuals within the society. Then only can individuals think ‘rationally’, act ‘rationally’.

Education will help individuals to grow awareness regarding the sustainability.

YES!!

Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) a realistic approach is needed to be learnt by connecting social, environmental and economical aspects of our day-to-day lives.

It is also needed to develop students' understanding of these issues and make them motivated to have positive attitude towards sustainability.

Education for Sustainable Development (ESD)

Teachers can definitely play a major role to develop knowledge of future generations of environmental challenges thereby promoting education for sustainable development and making students able to formulate creative ideas and solve problems for the well-being of our planet.

Teachers Promoting ESD

Society needs those teachers who can make future generations think about the nature of earth’s resources, to make them critically understand the damage in our society, environment, water, and soil. Such teachers will make students realize that it is our behavior which needs to change to build a sustainable world.

Sustainability is not that easy to attain. Society requires teachers having unique and innovative ideas to promote education for sustainable development. They must have understanding of social, environmental, and economical aspects as well as the interrelationship and interdependence among these three spheres have.

It is never that much late to create a world where air is fresh to breathe, water is pure and safe to drink, health is taken care of and resources are shared among all the world’s people — to make a world where each and every child can get a sustainable future, a sustainable nation.

It can become a reality if nation gets more transformational teachers- who can see beyond, think beyond and act beyond. Then only we can make our nation a sustainable one.

So, LET’S MAKE A SUSTAINABLE WORLD!!!

Thank you!!
