CHALLENGES IN IMPLEMENTING SUSTAINABLE EDUCATION PROGRAMS IN DEVELOPING NATIONS

Abstract

The premise of this research paper entails understanding the various obstacles that inevitably slow down the process of enhancing sustainable education programs in developing countries. Sustainable education helps to ensure academic success, social justice, protect environment and has ability to bring improvement to economy. But a number of challenges exist which hinder improvement in these areas. The main problems are the following: economic problems, which include inaccessible and inadequate infrastructure, a lack of funding, and deficiencies in the supply of education, which hampers people’s access to this right. Inability to implement educational policies and standards, political instabilities and political corrupt additionally complicate the state of affairs by causing a shift in policy and program direction and lack of responsibly. However, the main challenges in the context of social and cultural mobilization are many and include the following; First, the inequality between girls and boys is a major problem and a major challenge when it comes to social and cultural implementation in any educational setting or context. Most important of them is the language barrier that does exist when translating social or cultural knowledge and information into any other form of language or brand of education. However, lack of proper requirement for qualified teachers and the inadequate training enhances the challenge of providing quality education that can support a sustainable practice in class. Moreover, the paper highlights the importance of highly complex and context-sensitive approach to these barriers and the definite need to address them. In its efforts to expand extant scholarship on the topic of sustainable education in developing countries, this study supports calls for more investment in education, community involvement, and technology, as well as for closer cooperation between governments and international organizations. Nevertheless, the results indicate that increased innovation and international collaboration offer the prospects for developing sustainable education in frames of the recognized difficulties.
