What is the purpose of environmental education in primary and secondary schools?
Educational environment and environmental education are two different concepts, which are different and closely related. Educational environment refers to the external world that directly or indirectly affects people's survival and development; Environmental education is an educational activity process centered on the relationship between man and environment. Because both of them are compound concepts composed of "education" and "environment", they are closely related. Generally speaking, the relationship between them is the purpose and means, that is, the optimization of educational environment is the purpose of environmental education, and environmental education is the means of optimizing educational environment. Because the center of educational environment is "human", the object of environmental education is "human", and "human" is the intersection and combination point of educational environment and environmental education.
