“…Within management, this research groups four categories to manage. Governance is presented as the first category and addresses from the political view, the following conditions: being longstanding and with inclusive language, anti-corruption, as part of the structure that guarantees sustainability, as commitment and strategies, as part of the operation at all levels, as a fundamental element of the services (Bauer et al, 2020; Drahein et al, 2019; Niedlich et al, 2020; Pizzutilo & Venezia, 2021; Villena et al, 2021, however, they also understand it as the guarantor of the mission and vision (Drahein et al, 2020; Du et al, 2020; Pizzutilo & Venezia, 2021), as responsible for transparency through accountability, or ethical compliance with legal standards (Drahein et al, 2020; Leal Filho et al, 2021); and finally, educational governance is understood as enabling trustworthy organization in elements such as: structure, gender equity, status and strategies, processes, programs to foster sustainable behavior (Bauer et al, 2020; Drahein et al, 2020; Du et al, 2020; Fourati-Jamoussi et al, 2015; Niedlich et al, 2020).…”

Previous studies have suggested the importance of sustainability in all organizations; however, their application to schools as an organization is limited. This study aims to characterize sustainability in primary and secondary catholic schools. The theoretical framework is based on the theories of resources, capabilities and stakeholders because they relate most directly to organizational sustainability. The method consists of three interrelated parts. First, a bibliometric analysis with four clusters was obtained in the first model of understanding (1.0). The second stage consisted of a content analysis, which elicited meanings by screening2,710 records and deepening 200 research studies with the model (2.0). Then, in the third stage, an exploratory analysis was carried out through interviews with a group of Latin American education experts who manage almost 300,000 students in Mexico, Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Brazil, and Chile; the data were analyzed using the text mining technique with discourse analysis. The results validated five categories: Management, Campus Operation, Well-being, Education for Sustainable Development, and Associativity. This study concluded that associativity in these Catholic organizations is fundamental to guaranteeing their sustainability over time and that the wellbeing category implies social and political transformation processes. Therefore, it is proposed for future research to measure these categories and systematize them as a model of sustainability management in the school as a whole and as a strategy for managing sustainability processes in the whole school.

“…The Conference of University Presidents (CPU) and the Conference on Higher Education (CGE) have proposed the Green Plan (article 55 of 3 August 2009 of the Grenelle 1 law) and the integration of sustainability in higher education. We have already presented a case study at the "Institut Polytechnique UniLaSalle", located in Beauvais (France), focusing on the training of engineers [22].…”

Education for Sustainable Development and Innovation in Engineering School: Students’ Perception

et al. 2021

This article is the continuation of the work that has already been completed in a first study on the perception of engineering students at UniLaSalle Beauvais about education for sustainable development (SD) and innovation. Its purpose is to show the evolution over time of the perception of engineering students regarding SD and innovation after integrating the international program called “Go-LaSalle”. In this training process, students spend the second semester of their third academic year in partner universities of the worldwide Lasallian network. To identify and measure the change of students’ perception, we have designed a survey that was sent to two engineers’ training classes (specialties) Agronomy and Agro-Industries and Food and Health. The results show that although some differences and similarities appear between the two specialties, there are few significant changes on student’s perception before and after the six-month international program (called “Go-LaSalle”). Finally, the study shows, on the one hand, that the students trust the institution, the companies and their teachers more than their own inclinations; on the other hand, it allows the institution to adapt their training to both collective needs and the demands of the environment.

In the context of severely restricted employment opportunities, undertaking an internship is an important way for students to enhance their employability and sustainable development. The aim of this study was to judge if the implementation of the Internship Promotion Programme (IPP) at universities in Zhejiang Province, China, could enhance graduates’ employability. We conducted surveys and interviews with 400 students and 100 business executives who participated in the IPP during the past 6 years. Based on the collected data and statistical analysis, the findings show that internships help students to improve their innovative thinking, interpersonal communication abilities (domestic and international), problem-solving skills, value creation and responsibility. Participants in the IPP were compared with students who did not take part. The results demonstrated that the IPP participants exhibited higher capabilities to perform important workplace tasks and that as a result, they became more attractive to employers. The analysis, therefore, demonstrates a positive correlation between the internship experience and employability. As a result, it can be concluded that the IPP improves students’ employability and is beneficial to enhancing the quality of higher education, and hence the sustainable development of students.
