Iran’s launch of ‘environment schools’ coincides with Obama’s ‘climate change’ education push - EAGnews.org:
TEHRAN – Iran’s Department of Environment is setting up “environment schools” to better educate citizens on “global warming” and other environmental issues of concern to the government.
“DOE director for public education Mohammad Darvish said a number of movie directors, producers, Majlis legislators, and Friday Prayers leaders have been instructed with tips to help improve the public’s awareness about environmental issues,” the Tehran Times reports.
The goal is to “make the public more aware about environmental issues and ways to protect wildlife,” according to the news site.
The government hopes to make all elementary and middle school students aware of environmental issues within a twenty-year period, Darvish says.
Some 56,000 teachers will receive “training in environment protection,” as well, from the government.
Sixty schools around Iran will be converted into pilot environment schools for the next academic year.
A similar push is occurring in America.
