WWF have written a report called Learning for sustainability: From the pupils perspective which is a three-year longitudinal study of 15 schools with an 'expressed commitment to learning for sustainability.
The study focuses on the agenda from the pupils point of view highlighting the influences of peer pressure, the economic situation and how participation in the sustainability agenda increases pupil motivation. It is also made perfectly clear that standards of achievement,behaviour and attendance in the schools involved is generally higher relative to standard measures. It also provides useful guidelines for examining the progression of schools working with ESD.
