    The National Environmental Awareness and Education Act promotes national awareness

    of the importance of environmental education for sustainable national development in


    the Philippines. This policy mandates that environmental education be integrated into
    school curricula at all levels, and that students are provided with a core curricular
    foundation in environmental issues and laws, the state of international and local
    environmental policy, citizens' responsibilities to participate in environmental behavior,
    and sustainable development. The Philippines also fosters participation in environmental
    behavior through national awareness events and national programs that encourage the
    greening of schools, communities, offices and industries.

    National Legislation
    The Republic Act No. 9512, or the National Environmental Awareness and Education Act of
    2008, articulates that the state shall promote national awareness of the role of natural
    resources in economic growth and the importance of environmental conservation and
    ecological balance towards sustained national development. It established Novembers as
    the Philippines’ National Environmental Awareness Month.
    EE in K-12 Education
    In 2009, in response to the UN Decade of Education for Sustainable Development, the
    Philippines began a program called the National Search for Sustainable and Eco-Friendly
    Schools (view National Search for Sustainable and Eco-Friendly Schools video here). The program
    is part of the roadmap for implementing the National Environmental Awareness and
    Education Act of 2008 recognizes schools for integrating environmental education into
    their instruction, administration, and programs. Its goals include encouraging
    schools/academic institutions to become more actively involved in environmental issues
    at a practical and local level and developing skills and understanding among students,
    faculty and school administrators in initiating active responses and increasing community
    awareness and participation on environmental concerns. In addition, the ASEAN
    Environmental Education Action Plan 2014-2018, which includes the Philippines as a
    collaborator, articulates as a strategic action the enhancement of awareness on
    environmental issues among the education community through structured EE/ESD
    learning and experiences.
    Professional Development
    Section 7 of the Republic Act No. 9512, or the National Environmental Awareness and
    Education Act of 2008, states that the Department of Education, the Commission on
    Higher Education, and the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority will
    collaborate with the Department of Environment and Natural Resources to implement
    capacity-building programs in environmental education. These include trainings,
    seminars, workshops, environmental education materials development, and teacher
    education courses.
