Towards the incorporation of environmental education in the Namibian Secondary School Curriculum

Environmental education (EE) as an approach to all education is needed to be
incorporated in all the subjects of the school curriculum. In Namibia, there are Ministerial
documents that support the incorporation of education About, In/ Through and For the
environment within the curriculum. Even though there are documents that support this,
EE continues to suffer barriers that hinder its effective incorporation into the curriculum.
The findings reveal that EE in Namibia is incorporated into the traditional environmental
subject homes only. The barriers that prevent the incorporation of EE into the Namibian
broad curriculum for secondary schools are, amongst others, the lack of adequate teacher
education programmes and the lack of interdepartmental collaboration at school level.
These barriers and many others have been identified and discussed in detail in this
investigation. Measures are recommended to ensure effective incorporation of EE in the
Namibian broad curriculum for secondary schools. / Educational Studies / M. Ed. (Environmental Education)
