Abstract: My main focus is to demonstrate Action learning as a means of improving the quality of education by contextualising values and ethics in ESD. Values related to environmental protection and management, local knowledge, skills development, sustainable entrepreneurship and livelihood and poverty are issues of concern in my paper, in making learning relevant to the needs of the learners. This paper attempts to demonstrate, how Action learning is an effective tool for instilling values and ethics in learners, and through research findings and practical experiences from the Eco-Schools programme in Kenya, that Environmental Action learning is a strategy for improving the quality of education, i.e. promoting interdisciplinary, holistic, value-driven, critical thinking, problem solving, use of different and participatory pedagogies and relevant content.
