Build Capacity In Your School
Orenda Learning offers a range of services to support education providers to build their capacity to deliver incredible service programs.
Target 4.7.1 of SDG 4; Quality Education, states that by 2030, we must ensure that all learners acquire the knowledge and skills needed to promote sustainable development. Indicator 4.7.1 covers the extent to which (i) global citizenship education and (ii) education for sustainable development are mainstreamed in (a) national education policies; (b) curricula; (c) teacher education; and (d) student assessment.
We are aware it is likely that education for Sustainability and Global Citizenship is an important part of your school vision and mission and we want to support you to increase your capacity to deliver this important area of education to your stakeholders, including your students, parents and community.
