ABORDAGENS CRÍTICAS EM EDUCAÇÃO E DESENVOLVIMENTO SUSTENTÁVEL: O CASO PORTUGUÊS

Abstract

In Portugal, the theme of Sustainable Development is based on the national curriculum, both in primary education (elementary school), as well as in basic education (continuation of elementary school) and secondary education (high school). Being an integral part of the teaching-learningevaluation process of all students inserted in the portuguese education system, it becomes pertinent to study about the way it is approached, in the classroom, so that they lead to the fulfillment of what are the 17 Sustainable Development Goals defined in the 2030 Agenda of the United Nations. In this sense, this article substantiates the approaches adopted by the Ministry of Education Portuguese with regard to the thematic areas of Environmental Education for Sustainability and Education for Development, according to the set of References prepared by the Directorate-General of Education in the scope of Education for Citizenship.
