Education for sustainable development country guidelines for changing the climate of teacher education to address sustainability: putting transformative education into practice Year of publication: 2011 Corporate author: UNESCO Jakarta This document on ESD Country Guidelines for TEIs is the result of the Regional Training Workshop Programme, titled “Developing Capacities of Teacher Education Institutions (TEIs) of Brunei Darussalam, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines and Timor-Leste in Reorienting Teacher Education to Address Sustainability” and has been developed by the five cluster countries of the UNESCO Office, Jakarta. The developed guidelines ultimately aim to reorient each country's curriculum, policies, standard practices and programmes to address sustainability and implement it in a tangible way. Although many idealistic descriptions of sustainability and sustainability education exist, faculties of education must decide which themes should receive particular focus and create their own guidelines and design criteria on this specific area. Therefore, these ESD Country Guidelines are significant initial steps to ensuring teacher education programmes fit the environmental, social, cultural and economic conditions and goals of each country's communities, regions and nations.
