Abstract

BARCELONA, Spain played host to several key events last week. The United Nations (UN) Decade on Education for Sustainable Development (ESD), which was declared in 2005, has reached its mid-point. Though this has not created a flurry of concern in the Malaysian education scene, it has made an impact internationally. In Barcelona, where architect Antonio Gaudi's designs have almost a total presence, ESD made itself felt. There was also the Public Symposium of the UN Inter-Agency Committee on ESD in the city to take stock of what has been done in the first five years at the local, regional and global levels. Monitoring and evaluation are deemed essential to close the gap and correct misperceptions in advancing ESD towards desired goals by 2014. The symposium, held in a heritage building which used to be a hospital, sent mixed signals.
