Education
Environmental education at every level from pre-school to universities is a state responsibility laid down in law. The Ministry for Environment strives to carry out this immense task, giving ample support to schools. Though Hungarian public education has no separate school subject for environmental protection, according to the National Curriculum every teacher is obliged to actively contribute to environmental learning. In 1999 a cooperation agreement was concluded with the Ministry of Education for the development of environmental education. At present some 6% of university students study professional environmental subjects, but within a few years the National Environmental Protection Program would like all students to study them. In teacher education, in-service training, and in public information non-governmental organizations, supported regularly by the Ministry play a major role.
