Abstract

Sustainable Development is the organizing principle for meeting human development goals while simultaneously sustaining the ability of natural systems to provide the natural resources and ecosystem services upon which the economy and society depend. Quality education which is in line with the Sustainable Development Goal 4 can be achieved with effective administrative strategies. Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) is defined as education that encourages changes in knowledge, skills, values and attitudes to enable a more sustainable and equitable society. The concept of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) was born from the need for education to address the growing environmental challenges facing the planet. Strategies for sustainable development are a coordinated set of participatory and continuously improving processes of analysis, debate, capacity strengthening, planning and investment, which integrates the economic, social and environmental objectives of society. These encompass a set of desirable processes and outcomes which taken together are likely to promote successful sustainable development. The principles emphasize local ownership of the strategy process, effective participation from all levels, and high-level commitment. The principles also indicate the importance of convergence and coherence between different planning frameworks, integrated analysis, and capacity development. Effective Administrative Strategies can ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all. An effective strategy for sustainable development brings together the aspirations and capacities of government, civil society and the private sector to create a vision for the future, and to work tactically and progressively towards it. It is therefore recommended that free and open-communication strategy should be reinforced in all secondary schools as an administrative strategy.
