- Description
- Curriculum innovation that took place in the post-apartheid era in South Africa provided opportunities for integrating environ-mental concerns and sustainability issues in subjects such as geography and science at further education and training level (FET). However, evidence from my PhD study in geography education at FET level shows that there are major challenges in the implementation of education for sustainable develop-ment (ESD) in the school context. These relate, firstly, to teachers’ lack of content knowledge (CK) and pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) and, secondly, to contextual issues and structural constraints within schools. In order to overcome some of the challenges, a standards-based teacher training model is recommended to ensure the mastery of appropriate competencies for the implementation of environmental educa-tion (EE) and ESD.
