Abstract
In 2011 the Catholic secondary schools that are part of the Catholic education network embarked on an extra-curricular programme for Ecological Literacy Development (ELP) developed by ELIA-Ecological Living In Action (ELIA) in collaboration with the Bureau of Catholic Education (BEC). In 2013, this evolved into the Education for Sustainability programme (EFS) that is being integrated into the curriculum work plan and school activities for three selected pilot schools in Mauritius – Loreto College Curepipe, St Mary’s College Rose-Hill and BPS Fatima Goodlands. This paper provides an overview of the EFS programme and lessons learned since 2011, with an outline of how the EFS programme will unfold over the coming years in the Catholic schools in Mauritius.
