ESD localisation in Morocco, Ghana, and Turkey: Launch of the Global Schools Country Reports

The Global Schools Program, an initiative of the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN), has engaged with its partners, Hacettepe University (Turkey), University of Education (Ghana), Millennium Promise (Ghana), the M6 Foundation (Morocco) and Al-akhawayn University (Morocco), in a 6-stage research pilot with the mission to align each country’s national curriculum with Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) and Global Citizenship Education (GCE) frameworks. More than 60 researchers have analyzed national textbooks, curriculum, and policy to develop localized curriculum on sustainable development and global citizenship. This approach has brought together 80 in-country partners to propel a movement for sustainable development education across the three pilot countries. The final project outcomes and the findings will be used to create a toolkit to localize sustainability education for national curricula.
