... education for education’s sake, but education that is responsive to socio-economic, human and ecological concerns of society. Training programmes need to prepare learners to respond to diverse sustainability concerns by being able first to interpret the problem, categorise it properly and institute well ‘philosophically grounded’ and practical interventions. The philosophical grounding should integrate both local and external worldview of sustainable development challenges and interventions to enable empowerment and ownership of the process and products by all stakeholders. This way ESD becomes a transformative process and can reorient society and its systems towards pursuit of options sensitive to local sustainable development needs and challenges.
