Role Of Problem-Solving Ability In Promoting Sustainable Development

Abstract

Education for sustainable development is referred to as education that “empowers learners to take informed decisions and responsible actions for environmental integrity, economic viability and a just society, for present and future generations, while respecting cultural diversity.” Sustainable development needs innovation to drive competitiveness, and demands technological infrastructure to create an environment where the latest technology and knowledge can blend to trigger new approaches and solutions. Therefore, sustainable economic growth requires new qualities and different features, and solicits educational systems to equip learners and students with skills and competencies that help them manage change and generate and execute ideas through flexibility and initiative. Problem solving ability is one of the important abilities that students need to achieve in learning and is part of the Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) goal competence. Problem-solving skills are essential for sustainability, as they allow you to address complex and dynamic challenges, find innovative solutions, and adapt to changing circumstances.
