Abstract :
It is observed that graduates from universities
in Cameroonhave inadequate competence in major areas
such as; system thinking, problem-solving, and critical
thinking, making graduates be less skilled in long-life
learning, such as learning to know, be, do, and living-
together. Hence, graduates’ competencies are
contextually inefficient and observed to be inadequate for
the local and global market, a reason for the massive
unemployment of graduates. The purpose of thisstudywas
to examine the relationship between competence in
education for sustainable development and graduates’
employability. The study made use of a principal research
question stated as; what competence in education for
sustainable development can enhance graduates’
employability? A descriptive approach was used for the
study,and a sample of 126 graduates were obtained by
purposive sampling technique. The result obtained from
the analysis permits us to conclude that there is a strong
and positive relationship between competence in
education for sustainable development and the
employability of graduates.
Keywords :
Competence in ESD; Learning to know; Learning to be; Learning to do; Learning to live together; employability of graduates.
