This book is a compilation of case studies on best practices in education for sustainable development in teacher education institutions in Zambia. It contributes to the dissemination of the best practices among the institutions and the wider society. It adds to examples of practices that are relevant to the UNESCO Global Action Programme on Education for Sustainable Development (GAP).

The project was coordinated by Professor Overson Shumba at the Copperbelt university in Kitwe and Heather Munachonga, Programme Officer at the Zambia National Commission for UNESCO in Lusaka. The book was made possible with funding and support from UNESCO, Paris, the Ministry of General Education, the Copperbelt University, and the Zambia National Commission for UNESCO. All the institutions were supported by the teacher education institutions and their partners.

The book illustrates some of the actions undertaken consistent with pursuit of the education SDG4 target 7. It is expected that this book will lead teacher educators and teachers to come up with further innovations and to integrate them in their professional work. Whole institution actions are encouraged so that best practices as found in this book can permeate and transform all aspects of the institution: the curriculum, teaching, assessment, research, extra-curricular activities, and operations, and must involve everyone, students, workers, lecturers, and the surrounding community.
