Environmental Security: Old-new theme of the formal education?

Publication |
2013

Abstract

The concept of environmental security stands in the focus of professionals as well as the lay public nowadays; however, a comprehensive analysis of this concept in the Czech curricula on the lower secondary level has been missing up to now. The authors seek to bring the first insight in this issue in the article.

The text deals with the general environmental security concept (a component of a human security concept) and analyzes the interconnections among the general environmental security concept topics and educational content in Czech curricula of the lower secondary education in a particular time period (1948 - present). At the end the authors propose possible changes in the current curricula and point out the importance to develop new appropriate educational tools for a broader use in schools.
