This National Strategy on Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) has been developed by the Department of Education and Skills (DES), in consultation with key stakeholders. It provides a framework to support the contribution that the education sector is making and will continue to make towards a more sustainable future at a number of levels: individual, community, local, national and international. This strategy is primarily influenced by the national strategy on sustainable development, Our Sustainable Future - A Framework for Sustainable Development in Ireland (hereafter referred to as Our Sustainable Future), which was published by the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government in 2012. It is also framed within the current context of limited financial resources. The result is an ESD strategy that seeks to challenge individuals, organisations and society as a whole, but particularly in educational contexts, through recommendations that are pragmatic rather than aspirational in nature.

Monterrey has more than thirty universities, at least one of which regularly ranks among the ten best in Latin America and offers joint degree programs with top U.S. institutions. Education isn't just a successful part of the economy in Nuevo Leon -- it's also a key driver behind several other dynamic and important sectors. Not only are Monterrey's universities good, and striving to get better, but they have a clear vision of their social responsibility and absolutely no compunction about working closely with government and the private sector to help boost economic growth. This contrasts sharply with the ideological standoffishness that has held back faculty-factory cooperation in some other parts of Latin America. Adapted from the source document.
