The Development Education Program was created by the Economic Development Institute of the World Bank with the aim of educating students to "think critically about the social, economic and environmental issues of sustainable development." Teachers will find text, maps, charts, data tables, photos and case studies in the Learning Modules section to use in their classrooms. The Learning Modules cover topics such as population growth rate, gross national product (GNP) per capita, and access to safe water. There is also a teaching guide available to teachers on how to present the materials. Students can choose to go through the materials in the Learning modules themselves. Sustainable Development Post, an interactive forum for thoughts and comments about issues of sustainable development, invites student participation.
