The Department of the Environment (DoE) handed over revised Curriculum Guides for Social Studies, Integrated Science, Agricultural Science and English to the Ministry of Education’s NCERD at a ceremony yesterday.
According to a Ministry of the Presidency release, the modifications to the guides were undertaken by an Environment-in-Education Mainstreaming Working Group. This was set up by the Department in October 2018, under the Strengthening the Technical Capacities to Mainstream and Monitor Rio Convention Implementation through Policy Coordination, and targeted Grades One to Nine.
National Centre for Educational Resource Development (NCERD) Director Jennifer Cumberbatch received copies of the guides during the ceremony held at Herdmanston Lodge, Queenstown, Georgetown. She thanked the DoE for the efforts made, and emphasised the importance of these revised guides to the development of the nation’s children.
