ECOLOGICAL CHALLENGES TO THE EDUCATIONAL CURRICULUM

Ivan Cifrić ; Faculty of Philosophy, Zagreb

Abstract

The concept of modernization of Croatian society demands the
modernization of education. The ecologization of education is
based upon the objective challenges of global ecological issues,
Croatia's European orientation and transitional changes. The external
factors are still stronger than the current social motivation
for ecologizing society and education. Ecological challenges are
cultural challenges to education, and European challenges are
part of the corpus of ecological civilizational challenges. If Croatia
wishes to keep up with the developmental tendencies of modern
western society and be included in it, it has to accept the ecological
challenges in education as well. The author does not consider
it sufficient to partially "ecologize" the curricula. He deems that
an ecological curriculum should be created, but also a comprehensive
social project of ecological education - school, professional
and permanent education. The author, thus, proposes certain
measures for changing the policy of education.
