  10. COMPARING ENROLMENT AND EMPLOYMENT

  11. 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

  12. 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

  13. Issues and Gaps • Research, Community Extension Work- Environment related projects/activities and funding limited • Sustainability-environment related co-curricular and extra-curricular activities atschool level are not sustainable • Collaborative Work- on environmentrelatedconcernswith industry, professional organizations and LGUs minimal

  14. 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

  15. 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

  16. CONCLUSIONProposed Action Plans • Research and Development • Information • Training and Scholarship • Logistic Support • Concerted Effort • Policy Reforms • Curriculum development • Advocacy Program
