Abstract

Abstract A 1984 study of Jamaican teachers found them to be highly supportive of the idea of including environmental studies in the high school curriculum. Eighty-nine percent thought such studies should be incorporated into existing courses, and 74.3 percent indicated that they would attend seminars to prepare them to teach such material. An examination of several course syllabi revealed that a large amount of environmental material was already incorporated into the new Caribbean Examination Council course syllabi, but interviews with curriculum planners and policymakers indicated that widespread teacher training and public education workshops were not planned because of lack of funding and miscommunication between ministries and departments.
