 
Engagement: Students can be actively involved in environmental projects and initiatives, 
such as recycling programs, tree planting, and community clean-up events. This helps to instill 
a sense of ownership and responsibility for the environment. 
 
Integration: Environmental education should be integrated across all subjects, not just 
science, in order to emphasize its importance and encourage students to think about the 
environment in a holistic manner. 
 
Assessment: Regular assessments of environmental practices within the school can help to 
track progress and identify areas for improvement. This can also provide opportunities for 
students to reflect on their own environmental behavior and make changes where necessary. 
It is important to note that the formation of environmental culture is a continuous 
process that requires ongoing efforts and commitment from all stakeholders, including 
teachers, students, and school leaders.
