In mid-1992 a comprehensive study of the status of environmental education in the schools and tertiary institutions of Fiji was carried out. The resulting document was entitled 'Environmental Education in Fiji' (Taylor 1992). Much of this paper is a summary of that document. In it, the authors provide a brief background regarding formal education in the country, and the terms of reference of the study. They then present a short review of pertinent literature before describing the strengths and weaknesses in environmental education endeavours within the system. Finally, they put forward a set of specific recommendations for improving this important area of education. |
