Pluralist Economics Education and Sustainability-Future Directions

This study examines the role of pluralist economics education in achieving sustainability and suggests approaches/pillars as a way forward. We find that pluralism in education can play a significant role in contributing and developing the capabilities that are essential for easing the transition to a sustainable future. Empowering current and future generations with pluralistic economics knowledge and skills is crucial in the journey toward sustainability. To attain sustainable goals, there is a need for a high-quality pluralist approach to education where students are exposed to novel pedagogical methodologies, interactive learner-centred teaching, and effective learning environments. Some of our suggestions to achieve sustainability are curriculum reorientation, teacher training focus, sustainability-focused competency development, real-world learning applications, and the design of educational resources
