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 extracurricular 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
CONCLUSION
Proposed Action Plans
