Development Education & Irish Aid
Development Education is…
“an educational process aimed at increasing awareness and understanding of the rapidly changing, interdependent and unequal world in which we live
…it seeks to engage people in analysis, reflection and action for local and global citizenship and participation
…it is about supporting people in understanding and acting to transform the social, cultural, political and economic structures which affect their lives at personal, community, national and international levels”.

Education for Sustainable Development
…is a new vision of education that “helps students better understand the world in which they live, addressing the complexity and interconnectedness of problems such as poverty, wasteful consumption, environmental degradation, urban decay, population growth, gender inequality, health, conflict and the violation of human rights that threaten our future”.

The role of education
• To replicate society and culture (socialisation)
• To train people for employment (vocational)
• To develop the individual’s potential (liberation)
• To make a fairer society (transformative)

Changes to curriculum
• Senior Cycle focus on key skills development (information processing, critical and creative thinking, communication, working with others, and being personally effective) www.ncca.ie
• Opportunities for transition year
• New additions/reviews of existing subjects
What has this to do with me?
![Page 16: Deirdre Hogan, Ubuntu Network Coordinator, UL deirdre.hogan@ul.ie ; ubuntu.ie](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56813a48550346895da23c59/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
No one subject captures all these issues. They are relevant to all subject areas.
You can explore the issues in…
• What you teach - look critically at your subject matter
See NCCA document at http://www.ubuntu.ie/resdocs/senior_cycle[1].pdf
• How you teach it – use active participatory teaching strategies
• Your professional practice – act fairly and be aware of sustainable practices
