Abstract
Background: The Sustainable Economic Development Goals focus on Education as a means of sustainability, and practically, there is not much information about the ESD practices in the government college sector in Bangladesh. This paper examines the integration of sustainability into the curricula, pedagogy, assessment, and co-curricular programs in such institutes.
Methods: A multiple case study design was qualitative in nature. Teachers, academic leaders, and students in the selected government colleges were interviewed (twelve) in depth. Thematic analysis was used to analyse the data, which included deductive codes based on ESD competency frameworks and inductive codes that developed during the interviews.
