Abstract

World Bank declared that the quality of education in Indonesia currently is relatively minimum, although the expansion of educational access for community has significantly increased. One of the reasons is the uneven access to education or, in other words, there are still inequalities. The Johannesburg World Summit’s role in 2002 on sustainability development in promoting Education and Sustainable Development (ESD) was very important to develop as a key concept in its implementation plan. This study was carried out through literature review and interviews with related parties. The study concludes that education is often explained as a big expectation to create a more sustainable future, and institutions of teacher training are considered as main agents of change in transforming education as well as its society. It is necessary to note that the content of sustainable development is not the focus here, but how sustainable development is supported and promoted in culture and society through education supported by government and related parties. Quality education for sustainable development contains key issues about sustainability development into teaching and learning which include knowledge, systems of thought, emotions, ethics and values and actions. From these five domains, we can develop how quality education for sustainable development is applied in Indonesia.
