School in Doi Can Primary School – Thai Nguyen Province

Supervisor Assoc. Prof. Dr. Do Thi Lan, MA. Truong Thi Anh Tuyet

Abstract:

In recent years, environmental pollution is becoming worse. The education of

environmental protection is essential, especially for primary students. Primary school is

the first place for students to start learning and working. Therefore, the reasearcher

have studied the establishment of “Green Schools” model in Doi Can Primary Schools.

The aim of the study is to assess the education as well as measures to protect the

environment so that students and teachers can study and work in a safe and clean

environment. In addition, this enables students to enhance their knowledge, awareness

and responsibility for the environment. The study conducted a survey of incidental 30

students and 25 teachers about environmental awareness. Analyzing eight criteria of

“Green schools”, we considered it as the basis of evaluating the current state of the

school. The results revealed that the facilities and environmental awareness of students

and teachers are satisfactory, 90%, 92% respectively. The measures added into

extracurricular activities such as: Clubs, Travel, Games, Arts and culture, etc. have

increased the effectiveness of the course as well as students’ perception of

environmental protection. “Green Schools” is a beneficial model, which is not only a

green, safe and clean school but also a place to environmentally educate students from

early age.
