01015nam a2200109Ia 4500 DOWNES, Andrew Education and sustainable development: historical perspectives and projections for Barbados. 1995 Provides a historical overview of educational development in Barbados in order to demonstrate how development strategies in Barbados have placed particular emphasis on the exploitation of the country's natural resources bases: agriculture, manufacturing and tourism. Concludes that these strategies and the consumption patterns of citizens have led to some degree of environmental degradation. Stresses the need for the education system to not only provide people with the skills and knowledge to undertake 'environmentally friendly' productive activities, but also to provide them with the expertise to understand and manage the physical environment so that they can appreciate the interaction of man and his physical environment. 3/7/00 M2LMGR A 21754 21754 0 0 0 0 CRCM CRCM 2023-05-04 0 0000000015768 2023-05-04 00:00:00 2023-05-04 A
