Studies have shown that world heritage sites are regarded as environmental education (EE)
resources. However, environmental activities are not integrated with the National Curriculum
Statement (NCS) because the heritage educator and guides are not trained in EE, the heritage
educator do not liaise with the Department of Education (DoE) especially the curriculum
implementation unit and World Heritage Youth Forum.
The purpose of this study is to establish the role that world heritage sites can play to provide
adequate access to appropriate EE resources since this is a problem that hampers successful
implementation of EE. The study gathered data through observation, document analysis,
interviews and questionnaire. The data analysis was based on an inductive process that builds
concepts.
The study recommends training of heritage educator and guide in EE, heritage educator to liaise
with Department of Education especially the curriculum implementation unit and the World
Heritage Youth Forum to ensure effective implementation of environmental activities at the site. / Educational Studies / M. Ed. (Environmental Education)
