Die doel en wese van opvoedende onderwys en die implikasies daarvan vir omgewingsopvoeding
Abstract
The broad aim of education is to supply the learner with relevant knowledge, skills and values to enable him/her to positively contribute to life and in doing so making his/her life worthwhile.
Education is a holistic process considering a wide variety of human aspects. Therefore by omitting some of these aspects e.g. sound conservation-value teaching, the learner is not fully prepared for life. Environmental education is an important tool in reaching the goals of 'universal education' 'education of the whole person'- 'education for life'.
