the effectiveness of formulated educational policies. The educational policy review highlights information on weaknesses, improvements plan and new potential policies, and subsequent planning of educational interventions. Furthermore, the review provides a systematic guide for policymakers to design, analyze and execute educational policy implementation processes, to increase its cost
effectiveness. This review document focuses on an education thematic area, i.e., Education for Sustainable Development (ESD), covering five cluster countries of Brunei Darussalam, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, and Timor-Leste, with an overall question on how SDG4 can be accelerated by education interventions including an education response to Post COVID-19 pandemic.
Review of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) related policies in cluster countries showed that the ESD related policies are aligned with the country’s national education policy and planning that reflected the education 2030 Agenda. The related policies showed a diversity of
educational approaches and initiatives to demonstrating progress towards achieving the objectives of ESD implementation. The framework guiding the implementation of ESD in each country focuses on distinctive themes and topics, have different coordination mechanisms, and use a diversity of learning approaches. Some frameworks focus on formal education, whilst other frameworks have broadened
opportunities through integrating ESD into non-formal and informal education. As all cluster countries
have integrated ESD in their existing education curriculum, the integration emphasizes on various ESD components that are of priority to respective countries. All cluster countries recognized climate change as serious global issues; hence, climate change education has been identified as one of the important ESD components that should be addressed in the educational curriculum. The curriculum content of ESD in basic education and teacher education in respective cluster countries is credible for educating environmental concepts and environmental problems of the nation and the world. It also focuses in creating and translating awareness into positive actions learned from the ESD programs and subjects.
