Integrating ESG and Social Economy Principles into Philippine Curriculum: A Framework for Sustainable Development

The global stress on Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) and Social Economy (SE) principles is vital for sustainable development. Integrating these into Philippine education is paramount given national environmental and social challenges, yet a systematic curriculum approach is lacking. This paper proposes a conceptual framework, derived from literature and policy synthesis, detailing core principles, curriculum entry points, key competencies, and action-oriented pedagogies. Its implementation can advance Philippine sustainable development goals by cultivating citizens equipped for responsible, sustainable practices.
