The summary and main gist:
Education for sustainability is a lifelong learning process that leads to an informed and involved citizenry having the creative problem-solving skills, scientific and social literacy, and commitment to engage in responsible individual and cooperative actions. These actions will help ensure an environmentally sound and economically prosperous future. Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young. Lifelong learning, a concept which our country is trying to apply and something we all feel is very meaningful. No one is this world can ever be too smart to learn nothing. So unless a person is too ignorant or arrogant (which will be costly), learning is something one does until the final moments. Therefore, learning is an on- going process.
Diversity, Sustainability and Environment is exploring cultural and practical diversity for environmental learning. Our diverse community of scholars and educators endeavours to promote innovation in the way teachers teach and learners learn. Our faculty members are recognised for their work in developing, advancing, and enacting knowledge that makes a difference in public education. We have grown and evolved in response to the ever-changing challenges and needs of our constituencies.
Many educators are helping society achieve sustainability by teaching the three "e's"-- environment, economics, and equity-- along with the traditional three "r's"-- reading, writing, and arithmetic. In so doing, they are fostering awareness of sustainability among individuals, communities, institutions, and governments. In coming decades, education for sustainability has the potential to serve as a tool for building stronger bridges between the classroom and business, and between schools and communities. This is to ensure for a better education in the future.
