Sustainability
Knowledge, skills and understandings relating to sustainability in natural, social, cultural and economic environments are crucial to a world-class, futures-focused national curriculum. In the Melbourne Declaration on Educational Goals for Young Australians,Goal 2 focuses on successful learners as confident and creative individuals, and active and informed citizens. Successful learners understand their place as local and global citizens, sustaining and improving both natural and social environments.
ACARA has engaged education experts in sustainability from across the states and territories, academia and professional associations to provide advice regarding incorporation of sustainability in the content of the Australian curriculum.
