Abstract: | This article is intended to introduce educators in the Pacific region to the concept of 'Education for Sustainability' (EfS). This is a relatively new educational concept which has evolved from Environmental and Development Education. The article looks at the need for sustainability with particular reference to the Pacific and goes on to discuss some of the key components of EfS before looking at the suitability of EfS for Pacific Island schools. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Pacific Curriculum Network, 10(2), p. 3-7 | Publisher: | University of the South Pacific, Institute of Education | Place of Publication: | Fiji | ISSN: | 1562-4706 | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 130212 Science, Technology and Engineering Curriculum and Pedagogy 130106 Secondary Education 130202 Curriculum and Pedagogy Theory and Development |
