Education and Communication
Education for Sustainable Development (ESD)
is delivered by Warwickshire County Council, for schools, through the Sustainable Schools programme which incorporates Eco-Schools. An ESD programme for the Further and Higher Education sector is currently being developed.
Sustainable Schools
The Government wants all schools to be sustainable by 2020. This will ensure they have the skills, values and knowledge to make their own informed choices. This involves working on practical initiatives such as the Eco-Schools Programme, School Travel Plans and Healthy Schools. It is also about training headteachers and governors, and making sure teachers know how to integrate sustainability into the curriculum, as well as providing the knowledge and resources to do this.
Warwickshire County Council also delivers both general and specific environmental awareness training to staff to ensure that environmental issues are considered throughout all services. |
