The Influence of Secondary Schoolteachers on Educational Sustainability in Mubi Nigeria.

Abstract

The implementation of effective public awareness programs for environmental sustainability depends on certain symbolic steps that require the contribution and participation of each stakeholder. This aspect is generally believed to be to a larger extent based on the understanding of the cultural, economic, political and environmental realities of the domain under consideration. This article assesses the level of environmental sustainability awareness of some schools in Mubi, a locality in the extreme North-Eastern part of Nigeria with its unique cultures and attitudes towards the subject. The teacher and his students were targeted in the survey since this is one important institution upon which the future of societies is based. The survey conducted reveals the level of practice of environmental sustainability among this strong media of information dissemination (primary and secondary schools). Areas of concern in the result of the assessment were highlighted. Recommendations in areas of further improvements were suggested.
