Education for Sustainability in the minimum teachings of Elementary School

Abstract

Education is a key element in addressing the current socio-environmental crisis. The LOMLOE claims to introduce the spirit of the 2030 Agenda and thereby to promote Sustainability. This article aims to study the boost provided by this framework for Education for Sustainability. A comparison was made between the LOMCE’s and LOMLOE’s minimum teachings of Primary Education, followed by a descriptive analysis of the current law’s content. The results show the progress made in all the proposed dimensions and how the LOMLOE offers opportunities to favour educational approaches aligned with Education for Sustainability. The analysis also shows relevant shortcomings and suggests the need for teacher training, the involvement of the entire educational community, and leadership from school management for its effective implementation.
