Mr Government, no country can really develop unless 85% of it citizens are educated. Both development education and education for sustainable development place strong emphasis on promoting behaviour and actions for a socially just and ecologically sustainable world. In order to develop public awareness and produce this behaviour, DE and ESD practitioners and organisations need government support for their work and recognition of their contribution to education. This support can take the form of resources or access to decision-makers, but it must also include policy frameworks to scaffold their work. While the relationship can be fraught at times, government support for DE and ESD is essential given the former’s role in managing the education system and contributing to international policy-making.
