Environmental Concepts in Philippine Higher Education

This document highlights the importance of integrating environmental concepts into Philippine higher education. Environmental studies encompass a multidisciplinary approach, creating the need for a comprehensive curriculum that can include either standalone subjects or the integration into existing courses. Challenges such as curriculum overload, faculty readiness, and resource availability must be addressed. Proposed actions include identifying integration areas, developing teacher's guides, and establishing partnerships with other educational institutions, industries, and professional organizations to improve the relevance and effectiveness of environmental education.
