Holistic school safety education from education for sustainable development (ESD) perspective

Abstract

Safety is the most important and essential condition for sustainability. In turn, the implementation of the principles of sustainability in the formation of the educational environment is inextricably linked with the provision of the formation of new competencies. During the study, the authors determined safety parameters, developed a method for monitoring the selected parameters, built “safety radars” for educational institutions, reflecting the current and target state, developed recommendations to achieve an optimal level of safety. Based on the results of the study, a safety standard was developed, which received the status of a regulatory legal act at the country level, which ensured its implementation into practice. The results of the study show that the use of integrated practices to ensure the safety of the educational process can become a basic scenario for the development of new educational programs in the interests of sustainable development.
