Environmental Education

Environmental education is the responsibility of the whole school community .

It is more than a curriculum issue and involves schools in managing resources and grounds in a way that causes no significant damage to the environment and considers the needs of future generations.

Students will be able to participate actively in improving the school environment, address local environmental issues, form sound judgment on global environmental issues,play an active role and participate actively as global citizens in protecting the environment.

Environmental education is a lifelong multidisciplinary approach to learning that helps people to understand and appreciate the environment and their connection to and impact on it.

Environmental education is a process which develops awareness, knowledge and understand of the environment, positive and balanced attitudes towards it and skills which will enable students to participate in assessing the state of the environment.

Environmental education prepared us for an ecologically sustainable future. It empowers individuals to maintain and restore the Earth's natural systems and fosters support for the well-being of future generations by promoting sustainable lifestyles.

Environmental education involves respecting and valuing the achievements of the past and supporting the preservation of those aspects of the built environment which remind us of those achievements.

When environmental education is incorporated into school curriculum,students:

• learn about the environment
• develop skills to investigate and solve issues in the environment
• acquire attitudes of care and concern for the environment
• adopt behaviours and practices which protect the environment,and
• understand the principles of ecologically sustainable development.

Aim of environmental education

To foster students' understanding of the environment as an integrated system,and to develop attitudes and skills which are conductive to the achievement of ecologically sustainable development.
