COMPARING ENROLMENT AND EMPLOYMENT
Prevalent conditions of EE in the Tertiary Level – ADB Technical
Assistance on EE 1991 Unsustainable EE related activities done by government and
non-government units Overlapped and repeated functions More emphasis given to environmental issues rather than on
helping the students develop skills to solve environmental problems.
Limited instructional materials – circulation and depth of coverage of relevant issues
Insufficient amount of time allotted to training programs
Issues and Gaps
CHED Policy on EE- not evident Institutional Framework- lack or absence of environmental
education framework at school level Curriculum/Syllabi - lack of cohesion and focus in the
application of environmental friendly technologies and solutions in the various courses; green productivity as a thrust not evident
Faculty - No clear guidelines on academic background and training competencies for EE
Licensure Exam- limited item about environmental concerns
Issues and Gaps
Research, Community Extension Work- Environment related projects/activities and funding limited
Sustainability- environment related co-curricular and extra-curricular activities at school level are not sustainable
Collaborative Work- on environment related concerns with industry, professional organizations and LGUs minimal
RECOMMENDATIONS
National Consultative Workshop (Feb. 10-11 ’97) Proposal:
Formulation of EE Program for every school Schools to apply EE “best practices” in its operation EE be a component of institutional accreditation Faculty should be given training hand in hand with
skills to integrate EE into respective disciplines Constant updating of EE developments
RECOMMENDATIONS
National Consultative Workshop (Feb. 10-11 ’97) Proposal: Spread EE to various sectors: e.g LGUs, grassroots
communities, etc. Promote textbook and module writing to aid in the
delivery of EE Strengthen the integration of EE in professional curricula
by infusion in application courses Additional support from CHED, DOST and other
agencies to schools interested in urban and industrial issues
