INTEGRATING SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT PRINCIPLES IN CURRICULUM WITHIN ECONOMIC DEPENDENCE AND POST CONFLICT CONTEXT: STRATEGIES, PRACTICES AND CHALLENGES
Keywords:
Education system, sustainable development, developing countries, economic foundations, international institutionsAbstract
This article offers a critical examination of the relationship between the economic foundations, the developmen
tal policies underlying to those economic foundations and the targets set for education sector. The transforma
tion of international economic foundations involves great reforms of international development policies which
are promoted by international organizations and relayed by States. That is the process of “policy borrowing” in
which new ideas developed elsewhere are transmitted and applied in an environment other than that in which
they are developed. The article defends an argument that although the Education for Sustainable Develop
ment (ESD) is supposed to address the local contexts of three spheres (environment, society and Economy), its
integration in education systems of countries that heavily depend on external assistance follows the process of
policy borrowing. Thus, this article shows the challenges that face the local education system while integrating
ESD ideas that are developed elsewhere.
