Difference in Educator 'in' 'about' and 'for'

Post by tjf95 » Sun Feb 19, 2017 12:03 pm

One of my questions asks to explain the difference in the following phrases...

Education in sustainability.
Education about sustainability.
Education for sustainability.

To me education 'for' would be promoting sustainability, so educating on how we can be sustainable.

Education 'about' would be education them about sustainability as whole (what it is, drivers, barriers, benefits etc).

However i dont understand the difference in educating in and about.
