THE SOCIAL IMPORTANCE OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION IN PRIMARY EDUCATION
Main Article Content
Abstract
Primary education is considered the most sensitive stage in the formation of a child’s values, habits, and social behavior. Instilling ideas of environmental protection during this period contributes not only to the development of ecological literacy but also to broader social outcomes such as social stability, a healthy lifestyle, a culture of resource conservation, civic responsibility, and social solidarity. The article analyzes the social significance of environmental protection based on a cluster approach and explains it through such directions as health, economy, values, citizenship, community, and future sustainability.
