Educational management strategy for the transition to the circular economy in rural areas

The study highlights the need for capacity-building initiatives tailored to rural communities, including curriculum development, skill enhancement, and awareness campaigns, that align with the principles of waste minimization, resource efficiency, and regenerative practices. It emphasizes the role of local educational institutions, vocational training centers, and community-led initiatives in driving this transition. Key strategies include leveraging participatory approaches to foster stakeholder engagement, integrating traditional knowledge with innovative practices, and building networks for knowledge exchange. This paper offers practical recommendations for policymakers, educators, and community leaders to create a holistic framework that supports sustainable transformation at the grassroots level.
