Education System Environmentalization in Ukraine within the Modern Context
Abstract
The article covers the key approaches to the formulation of the education system's environmentalization concept against the backdrop of rising environmental awareness and the need to foster better environmental literacy in modern society. In order to achieve this objective, the authors have come up with an integrated indicator of the education system’s environmental sustainability which provides for environmental assessment at various educational levels. The said approach allows ensuring the comprehensive evaluation and avoiding subjectiveness. In addition, it serves as an efficiency indicator of the entire process of educational service provision under present-day conditions. Based on the aforementioned methodology, the Ukrainian education system was evaluated from the standpoint of its compliance with sustainable development requirements. The pain points of the system were identified, particularly, the absence of thoroughness, error in the logical sequence of shaping environmental knowledge, and uneven distribution thereof at different educational levels. The authors presented the measures aimed at increasing the degree of education system environmentalization, namely making environmental matters, including sound management of natural resources, and environmental protection a part of the curriculum; training the teaching staff capable of implementing the concept of continuous environmental and economic education; forming close links between secondary and higher education, and their cooperation with businesses and governmental institutions.
