Environmental education will
become a compulsory subject in Italian schools, from
kindergarten through secondary levels, as of next year, the
government said Wednesday.
The joint project, organized by the ministries of
environment and education, will include studies in 10 basic
topics, from waste to biodiversity.
Sources said about 150 pages in project guidelines have
been developed, focused on training students to think about
their place in the environment around them.
"It's a very important project that will have a large
impact on the whole country," said Barbara Degani, the
undersecretary of environment.
