The challenge for public universities in Mexico to incorporate a relevant education consistent with sustainability
Abstract
The objective of this documentary work was to provide a theoretical discussion around concepts related to the term sustainability (that is, sustainable development, environmental education, environmental training, ecopedagogy, biopedagogy, and education for sustainable development) to detect coincidences and disagreements that serve as support for managers and decision-makers of university policies at the time of incorporating these words into the curriculum of higher education institutions. After presenting this theoretical discussion, it can be concluded that the country's public universities, as complex organizations, have the challenge of understanding and implementing the principles of sustainability within the university curriculum as part of their commitment to the 2030 Agenda and the objectives for it. sustainable development. Likewise, it must be taken into account that the current structuring that characterizes the country's public universities -based on the departmentalization of knowledge- favors the fragmentation of science, a reality questioned by ESD, which invites the reconciliation of the different disciplines to contribute to the design and development of new theoretical-methodological models that allow giving answers to the challenges faced by sustainable development.
