Education for Environmental Sustainability: Policy briefing
Following their first set of workshops with over 100 teachers, teacher educators and young people, the team behind BERA’s latest research commission are delighted to share a summary of findings in this policy brief.
In brief, policy-makers are called on to:
- Initiate a review of the secondary curriculum with teacher and student involvement.
- Hold schools to account for sustainability through existing frameworks and standards.
- Create an external accredited award scheme to value individual and collective efforts and environmental leadership.
- Enlist the endorsement of respected public figures to promote education for environmental sustainability.
