Enhancing Environmental Awareness Through Non-Formal Education Initiatives
Non-formal education plays a crucial role in enhancing environmental awareness through programs such as eco-clubs, population education initiatives, and the National Green Corps. These initiatives aim to educate individuals, especially children, about environmental issues, leading to better decision-making and active participation in conservation efforts. Through activities like eco-clubs and awareness campaigns, people are encouraged to join NGOs and support green policies. Overall, non-formal education complements formal schooling by providing structured learning outside the traditional education system, fostering a deeper understanding of environmental conservation.
