Abstract

Sustainable development is a concept of development in regards to fulfilling the present generation needs and improving their welfare without sacrificing those of the future generations. This should be implemented by every United Nation member country. In order to implement it effectively, it needs knowledge, skills, attitude, and awareness of the people; quality human resources, and the involvement of stakeholders. Education plays an important role in cultivating awareness, knowledge, skills, and attitude toward the sustainable development implementation. It is also capable of producing the quality of human resources. Their involvement in the development will take into consideration its negative impact so the sustainability can be achieved. That is why education for sustainable development becomes the program formulated by UNESCO which encourages every member country to implement. Regarding its implementation, it needs relevant curriculum and effective teaching-learning strategy and evaluation plan which are emphasized on practical experience.
