Abstract | This article uses an educational framework of environmental sustainability to examine the production process and the final products and services delivered by School-Based Enterprises (SBEs). Whereas the fledging literature on SBEs has extolled their many benefits for improving learning, it has been slow to acknowledge the importance of promoting ecological awareness through vocational education. This article defends the importance of "greening" SBEs in order to raise students' and teachers' consciousness about the importance of environmental stewardship, and it also explores key limitations faced by SBEs that attempt to follow such a framework. This environmental educational framework is used to analyze qualitatively the actual practices of SBEs in two public secondary schools in Colombia, South America. (Author). |
