  Engjellushe Zenelaj, IsmailQemali University of Vlora, [email protected] Wals, A.E.J., and B. Jickling. , 2000: Some authors imply that unless ESD and generally the discourse on sustainable development (SD) stay open to opinions and debates of educators, it risks becoming indoctrination, a mindless and autocratic repetition of official definitions and limiting standards . Gadotti, 2008: Education for sustainable development must continue working with environmental education which brought a new view of human relationships with the world environment – which is no longer conceived as an object, but as a living creature that shares the same destiny with human beings. Tilbury, 2002:The relation between education and sustainable development is complex. Generally research shows that basic education is to nation’s abilities to develop and achieve sustainable target

  Engjellushe Zenelaj, IsmailQemali University of Vlora, [email protected] A Confucius Chinese philosopher & reformer (551 BC - 479 BC), had said “I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand.” Logically you do what you think is right, and to decide what is right you need knowledge that the main part of them you have take from school, and another part come from family. Change is a difficult process, because it need time to realize. Education is fundamental for changing in local and global scale. Best way to bring about change in the community or society is education. When talking about education, mean education from primary school curricula until they postgraduate.

  • Own theoryof sustainable development, is not yet consolidated, but still this stage where it is, remains the foundation for all development plans, and future goals. • Therefore, the vision of the future is not seen without sustainable development theory that is injected in every direction. • People usually do not to prefer to change behaviors of life style. They want their own model to construct and to live their life. • Actually almost no one is prepared to be Sustainable. Engjellushe Zenelaj, Ismail Qemali University of Vlora, [email protected] That's because being “Sustainable” requires sacrifices in our accommodated life.

  While the theoryof sustainable development, is the planet's perspective, on the other hand we have the expression that the “youth are the future”. Education is a very important step in enhancing a generation of people to understand the importance of sustainability Education is the first step in understanding what about sustainability is, and every person that learns about sustainability may learn which are their own impact on their environment, whether positive or negative they are. Education is not alone. After education come implementations. And they both are really closed. Engjellushe Zenelaj, Ismail Qemali University of Vlora, [email protected]

  Education and naturalresources Education makes clear the differences between standards and quality of life. Sustainable curricula education has started to spread information for quality of life, and especially in the issue of consumerism. Our society is doubly a consumerism society. In fact the quality of life is really closed with environmental. The clean and fresh air, clean water, bio productions, that are fundamentals elements that we live in this planet, has no connection with the quantity of our day’s consumerism. Human kind can’t survive without oxygen, water, land etc. All those elements are part of our environmental. Another strong connection that comes from environmental education is conserving natural resources because we are not only for today here. We must think for tomorrow’s generations.

  Up with education- Up with legislation Engjellushe Zenelaj, Ismail Qemali University of Vlora, [email protected] Democracy is based on laws Each law comes as a necessity to regulate the functions of a society. A society tends not to enforce the laws, if it is not aware of the importance of the law. To bring change in the life of the community, deprived of some behaviors, and imposing new, and to carry out that peacefully, so that expect positive results, must first community awareness, which comes as a product of education.

  Concluzions! • The linkbetween education and sustainable development is strong. • The theory of the future for sustainable development, may not receive or find the application development and widespread support, if people are not educated and do not receive adequate information. • Implementation of strategies for sustainable development is a result of the development of educational curricula. • To change means that you have understand your responsibility, to be responsible you must have knowledge, and to pretended that you have knowledge you must be educated. • Development and sustainable development is connected with education. We live at the same planet, and planet is like a big home which means that we live at the same home. So we divide problems. Engjellushe Zenelaj, Ismail Qemali University of Vlora, [email protected] May be , education is enough but I am sure that : EDUCATION IS FIRST STEP OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

  Engjellushe Zenelaj, IsmailQemali University of Vlora, [email protected] The theory of sustainable development should be integrated, more educational curricula at all educational levels. It should be treated not simply as a theoretical and conceptual analysis but as practical training. Integrate the principles of sustainability cannot be a special subject, but it must be integrated in all the sciences, such as biology, geography, sociology, etc. Interaction labor methodologies are assets that guarantee success. The identification of educational programs for sustainable education curricula in all states, in this way all will join this, regardless, the level of GDP, ethnic, social affiliation, national borders, geographic or physical barriers etc. Recommendations
