ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION, A NEED IN THE ROMANIAN EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM

Nature protection is increasingly becoming one of the most important concerns of contemporary society and of three major issues: deterioration prevention, environmental remediation actions and environmental reconstruction, which consist mainly of remedies, and preservation or maintenance of the de-polluted areas. Interest and love for nature are at the most children instinctively. In addition, attitudes and beliefs of children formed during an early age are those retained for a better life. Therefore, the education made in kindergarten has to start from children natural interest for plants and animals, for what is, in general nature to them. This project was supported by Rector Ms Heidi Reithmeier (Germany) having in mind that Germany was the first that has implemented such guidelines at the International Conference in Stockholm under Agenda 21 introduced in school curriculum.
