Environmental Education – a New School Subject?

 You have probably heard about global warming and other environmental problems in the news.

Unfortunately, there are many severe environmental issues many people aren’t aware of.

In my opinion a new subject in school about environmental education would be required to get

people informed and make the world a better place we can be proud of.

Because there are serious environmental issues that threaten many places in the world, I believe

that it is important to talk about a few of them in school. Some current environmental issues are

world hunger, pollution, deforestation and global warming. For example, the concentration of CO 2 in

the atmosphere was increased by 48 percent in comparison to the preindustrial age and the Amazon

River releases almost 20 percent more CO 2 into the atmosphere than it consumes from it.

There are many ways how schools can contribute to fighting the climate crisis. Firstly, they could

teach generation Z more about the greenhouse effect and global warming so teenagers are more

thoughtful and determined to act. They could also go on climate strikes and protests to show

students the importance of stopping global warming.

In my opinion environmental education should become a new school subject. Often people don’t

care about the current issues on earth because they don’t know much about them. Especially in

Austria we don’t see the scars from problems like hunger and global warming as they aren’t as

drastic problems in our country, so many people forget about them. If young people learn more

about environmental issues in school they will hopefully start making changes in their lives to

prevent those problems from escalating.

If you agree with me and want to change your lifestyle in order to improve the environmental state

of our planet, please share this blog with your friends and family and leave an inspiring comment on

the latest global incidents. Additionally, subscribe to my blog if you want to take a stand in favour of

solving our environmental problems.

Let’s not close our eyes to the environmental issues on earth and take action!

A lost schoolyear because of Covid-19?

  Covid-19 was a shock for all of us. The schools in Austria were suddenly closed and all children were sent home. The turbulent everyday life of pupils was suddenly no longer turbulent but instead monotonous and boring. Many months later, half of the class returned to school for two days at a time. And now, on Monday 17 th of May 2021, the long-awaited face-to-face teaching in the schools has started again. And the legitimate question arises: did Covid-19 cost us a year of education? What would you say? I would say no. Of course, it was a new, unfamiliar and perhaps not easy kind of learning during Covid-19. But one thing is for certain: Students learned a lot that they would never have been taught at school. Firstly, pupils became more independent. They learned how to organize themselves and structure their day. They also gained discipline as they were forced to hand in challenging tasks on time. Moreover, they also had to follow a healthy routine in order not to harm their body ...

This seems strange!

Today I took a closer look at the different schooling types around the world, from a pioneer project to now a wide range of these schools. So let´s get right into it.   There are many reasons the summer hill school is as successful as it is. The summer hill school is a unique school in Great Brittan and only consists of approximately 75 students from the age 5 to 18. The point that is making summer hill so interesting is the social connection between pupils of different ages and their teachers. What to me is also one-of-a-kind is the fact that there is no compulsion for learning, the will to learn needs to come from the pupil.   The Waldorf school is a renowned school though its history is quite controversial. In 1919 Emil Molt owned a cigarette factory and opened a school for the children of his workers. Rudolph Steiner was actually the guy who was in charge of building the school and its system. The school system is based on a lot of philosophy and until today they focus on ...
