Formal Environmental Education

Malaysia needs Environmental Citizens!

The Formal Education System is one of the most suitable mediums to create a generation of environmentally responsible citizens. As such, WWF-Malaysia aims to ensure that the Ministry of Education places more emphasis on Environmental Education and has embarked on two significant projects:

• Environmental Education Policy which aims to develop an Environmental Education Policy that is integrated into the National Education Policy;

• Environment and You: Creating a Generation of Environmentally Conscious Youth, which aims to develop an Environmental Education (EE) Model in collaboration with relevant stakeholders to be replicated in Malaysian schools.

Both these projects can ensure that EE in Malaysian schools will be undertaken in a holistic, cohesive, and comprehensive way.
