Room for Improvement in Sweden's Implementation of Sustainability Education
The years 2005-2014 marked the United Nations' Decade of Education for Sustainability, during which time nations were encouraged to incorporate sustainable development (SD) into school curricula. To determine whether Swedish schools have successfully improved students' perspectives on sustainability, the authors conducted a large-scale survey of students in grades 6 and 9. This knowledge can help schools improve the way they incorporate sustainability, and help students become more informed about and engaged with sustainability.
