Environmental Research and Ecotoxicity, 2022, vol. 1, 9-9

Abstract: After the 1st Congress of the Cuban Party, the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Science, Technology and Environment joined forces in the task of generalising Environmental Education in all corners of the country, with the aim of guaranteeing a human being with an integral education that would allow him/her to live in harmony with the natural and social environment. For this reason, the Cuban State gives this subject of study, at the different levels of education, a vital importance for the conservation of a sustainable world, and highlights the importance of promoting it from an early age. In primary education, it is clearly described why it is important to educate for environmental conservation. From a methodological perspective, the aim is to insert the student into the environmental reality through the use of experiential and active methods. It also seeks to incorporate the community in cooperative activities that favour the achievement of the objectives set specifically in relation to environmental conservation. The teaching that is intended here must be lasting and truly meaningful, demonstrated daily in the conservation of the environment, initially within the school, family and community contexts.
