She said her ministry provides space for students to learn outside the classroom, including visiting the Geoforest Park, which has complete facilities and is appropriate for them to gain exposure to sustainability issues.
Earlier, Fadhlina – who is also the president of the Malaysian National Commission for Unesco – launched the “Mangrove-ing Our Land” programme at the Geoforest Park here, themed “Protecting Nature, Better Future,” in conjunction with International Day for the Conservation of the Mangrove Ecosystem 2023.
Fadhlina said Unesco’s commitment, together with the state Education Department, the Geoforest Park and Lada, plays an important role in promoting such a programme, which is seen as very good for raising students’ awareness of the importance of protecting the environmental ecosystem. She said appropriate measures to ease teachers’ workload will be looked at from time to time, focusing on short-term and long-term issues.
