Education for Sustainable Development

Excerpt from The Jamaica Observer column published on Monday, March 14, 2022

By Jean Lowrie-Chin

Dr Lorna Down, co-editor with Thelma Baker of the riveting publication Caribbean Writers on Teaching Literature, has, with co-writer Dr Therese Ferguson, delivered a most timely book for educators, Education for Sustainable Development in the Caribbean. The book offers “real-world” case studies and research-based approaches in education, addressing global sustainable development goals, the challenges of the climate crisis, environmental degradation, and social and economic injustices.

As we promote critical thinking and environmental awareness, this book will help educators to hardwire the mandate of sustainable development in their curricula and instruction.
