Summary

Introduction

Environmental education is one of the government’s efforts to overcome and suppress the rate of environmental damage. In 1996, the first cooperation was established between the two ministries, namely the Ministry of National Education and theMinistry of Environment) on environmental education in schools. The cooperation is expected to give a positive influence for the community's awareness and behaviours in managing the environment. There has not been any significant effect or change on the community’s mindset in managing the environment [1]. The government renewed the cooperation between the Ministry of National Education and the Ministry of Environment in 2005. As a follow up of the cooperation agreement, the Ministry of Environment issued Adiwiyata Program at the level of primary and secondary education [2]
