Abstract
Education for Sustainable development (ESD) is becoming an integral part of the curricula in UK Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) . But what is the current perception of it in in these institutions? how well has it been integrated in to them? and what are the current challenges to effectively embed it in courses and institutions?
Building on a review of best approaches, this literature review summarises the perception of ESD delivery strategies in UK HEIs from the perspectives of students, educators and employers. We find students see it as content and are not necessarily transformed, interested staff are concerned there are barriers to making it skills focussed and some employers want HEI to take responsibility for it.
Unfortunately ESD is not fully embedded across HEIs so taking a Whole Institutional Approach might make it easier to do so.
