| description | The change project approach could be applied to enhance teacher education for the
purpose of confronting 21st Century challenges through education (Education 2030).
The challenge for teacher education institutions is to prepare future teachers with
the socio-ecological knowledge, skills, attitudes and values essential for sustainable
living, by reorienting current unsustainable ways of thinking and doing. This can
be achieved by integrating Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) and in
a number of teacher education programmes in southern Africa, teacher educators
have begun to do this. This paper discusses the critical role of a change project
approach in creating the social transformation processes and actions required to
achieve the ambitions of Education 2030. Cases from the Midlands State University
in Zimbabwe have demonstrated important efforts to reorient university curricula.
The paper investigates and discusses the challenges associated with reimagining
teacher education and key considerations that need to be addressed to achieve the
goal of Agenda 2030. |
