Leadership and Educational Reform for Sustainable Development
Resources on earth should be more than all living organisms on earth actually need if there were wise integrated management of such resources towards sustainability and social justice.
Therefore the Sustainable development is an issue of leadership and a vision. It's a domestic concern that becomes global as it influences the world.
Science Across Egypt Initiative is meant to create the model for such notion that the priority in planning sustainable development in developing countries should be directed to educational reform and creation of communication channels between scientists and the community.
The program aslo is in affiliation to the World Heritage Centre of the UNESCO in relation of saving the world natural and cultural heritage and has won the educating Africa Award 2011 for enterpreneurship in education.
[Current project : * Shadow an Egyptian Scientist/ Education for South Sinai Development
*Educationfor Restoration of Ecosystems/ Ras Mohamed Development]
Science Across Egypt Recommendations :
- Re-design of science curricula to integrate citizenship values , conservation of natural and cultural heritage and economics ( social science).
- Working on changing the public attitude towards science by facilitating access to scientific research, simplifying knowledge, and community participation.
- Declare a decade of Educational Leadership for Sustainable Development including a special focus on mothers as mentors for their children and women as educators/educational leaders. Good leadership is the guarantee advancing the quality of education towards progress of humanity and sustainable development.
- Creating ( more serious) communication channels between scientists and the community such as attractive and simplified science journalism, Science TV programs, awareness campaigns led by scientists, science digital libraries, ….etc.
- Encouraging partnership between academic communities and civil ones for research purposes.
Finally that somehow, investors MUST be forced to follow eco-friendly measures in hiring, operating and production.
Educational reform, educational leadership and integrated management of resources entail heavy envolvement of women as representing the family natural mentor in regards of resource management, early childhood educator as well as an educational leader in several institutes specially schools and therefore entail fostering women as essential partners in the leadership for sustainable development.

I agree with Gihan. A sustainable future is only possible if women are included and empowered in the process. We're hosting a blogger call on Tuesday, June 12th to discuss the intersection of women's health and the environment. Hope anyone interested will RSVP to attend!: http://bit.ly/Lv5Ylo.
