Redesigning Environmental Courses for Effective Environmental Protection

Protection of environment is apparently considered to be an important goal under all stages of education. Special courses have also been designed to achieve this goal. However, there is no visible positive impact on the ground. Several reasons can be attributed for the prevailing situation, which includes our lack of concern and commitment for the environment as an individual and lack of skills to tackle environmental problems, due to ineffective environmental courses. To overcome such barriers it is essential to relook and redesign environmental courses that are being imparted in the school and higher education throughout the country.
