Status, Trends and Issues of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) in Czech Republic
Original language description
This chapter provides a comprehensive overview of the current state of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) in the Czech Republic. It covers the historical development and the structure of the education system and relevant policies, emphasizing the integration of ESD into formal and non-formal education. The leading documents covering early childhood to upper secondary education are the Framework Educational Programmes (FEPs). The recently revised FEP document outlines curricular principles aimed at integrating competences (i.e., for citizenship and sustainability) and cross-cutting issues (i.e., a society for all and a sustainable environment). These principles were designed to address key challenges of the past, including a lack of emphasis on active and participatory learning methods, which often resulted in passive learning environments dominated by frontal teaching, thus hindering the development of critical skills such as independent decision-making, critical thinking and effective communication. In the new curricula, innovative pedagogical methods should systematically implement ESD as a transdisciplinary theme across the curriculum. Structural and institutional challenges will be consequently addressed, including the fragmented nature of teacher education, which remains discipline-based and often lacks the interdisciplinarity required to effectively teach sustainability.
