A look at education for sustainable development and the environment in the public universities of Honduras

Abstract

It’s necessary to rethink the values of the human society to recognize the
‘’Homeland’’ proposed by Edgar Morin, called sustainable development, by
the language of the United Nations. This marks a trend toward policies of
higher education, the behavior of the generation of knowledge and
information through publications and policy statements of public universities
is useful to identify national actions for this trend. In this investigation interest
was identified in publications of indexed articles and institutional publication
on the subject. In Honduras, educational model documents includes at levels
of macrostructure and mesostructure elements that show attempts to integrate
dimensions of sustainable development such as social and environmental
dimension. The national efforts are being completed with the support of
movements in the Central American region, such as the mainstreaming of
the curriculum with the themes of climate change and risk management.
