Environmental Education And Its Importance In School Curriculum

Abstract

   Environmental education (EE) is a process that helps people become more conscious of their surroundings and learn the knowledge, skills, attitudes, experiences, and motivation necessary to take action, both individually and as a group, to address current and future environmental issues. Through the process of environmental education, people can learn about environmental problems, solve them, and take steps to protect the environment. People have a deeper grasp of environmental issues as a result, and they are more equipped to make wise choices. It also teaches people to consider all sides of a situation in order to act responsibly. Environmental education does not promote any one idea or strategy over another. It promotes positive attitudes, skills of management, awareness about environment, its proper utilization, and maintenance of peaceful, healthy and green environment. This paper presents the goals of environmental education, its importance for school education and status of environmental education in school curriculum.
