Abstract

Education as a fundamental right is a key player in the drive for economic posterity. It is widely seen as an essential foundation for sustainable development, which could serve as an agent for economic growth, societal progress and environmental sustainability. It is against this backdrop, that the national education policy 2016-2030 was formulated to transform the Gambia into an economically sustainable country. It is a focus of global attention because for societies to thrive, education should take centre stage where individuals regardless of their physical ability or economic status will be productive persons. However, as people possess different abilities in different ways, the attention of advocates across the world has called for justice within the education setting, advocating for the right of every individual to access education in a conducive environment free from all forms of discrimination. This study aims to examine the national education policy in enhancing inclusive education policy for economic growth and sustainable development. The qualitative study conducted semi-structured interviews to assess the progress of the policy in attaining economic growth amongst the youth, inclusion of persons with disabilities and its challenges. The results show that the policy has improved in terms of human capital development and mainstreaming of special needs children. However, there are challenges like unequal distribution of state funds amongst schools and special needs children not being given full attention.

Abstract

AbstractThis paper explores integrating Islamic environmental ethics into the curriculum of basic education in the Gambia for a sustainable environment. In this paper, we adopted a qualitative approach to collect data through interviews with ten selected participants from 6 different regions in the Gambia. Our selection of participants was done purposively as we selected individuals who are well-versed in the subject matter. Our findings show that integrating Islamic environmental ethics into the basic education curriculum in The Gambia will not only have a long-term solution to the national environmental issues but rather will also breed a generation that will care for and love their environment, hence the country will have a sustainable ecosystem. However, this paper, therefore, recommends that the Ministry of Basic and Secondary Education to work with Islamic scholars in collaboration with the Ministry of Environment to develop a curriculum that will integrate Islamic environmental ethics in schools in The Gambia.AbstrakArtikel ini mengeksplorasi integrasi etika lingkungan Islam ke dalam kurikulum pendidikan dasar di Gambia untuk menciptakan lingkungan yang berkelanjutan. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan mengumpulkan data melalui wawancara terhadap sepuluh peserta yang dipilih dari enam wilayah berbeda di Gambia. Pemilihan peserta dilakukan secara purposif dengan memilih individu yang memiliki pengetahuan mendalam tentang topik ini. Temuan kami menunjukkan bahwa mengintegrasikan etika lingkungan Islam ke dalam kurikulum pendidikan dasar di Gambia tidak hanya akan memberikan solusi jangka panjang terhadap masalah lingkungan nasional, tetapi juga akan melahirkan generasi yang peduli dan mencintai lingkungan mereka. Sehingga, negara ini akan memiliki ekosistem yang berkelanjutan. Oleh karena itu, artikel ini merekomendasikan Kementerian Pendidikan Dasar dan Menengah untuk bekerja sama dengan para cendekiawan Islam serta berkolaborasi dengan Kementerian Lingkungan Hidup untuk mengembangkan kurikulum yang mengintegrasikan etika lingkungan Islam di sekolah-sekolah di Gambia.
