Abstract
Ten years on from the landmark environmental education conference at Tbilisi, it is salutary to reflect on the extent to which some of the distinguishing characteristics espoused in the nineteen-seventies are manifest in environmental education of the 'eighties. The critical problem-solving interest of environmental education recommended in the literature of the 'seventies was consistent with the social/political concerns of the world community at the time—concerns to which the UNESCO environmental education programme was a response. However, this critical problem-solving interest is not commonplace in schools, and still represents a serious challenge to the existing patterns of schooling. Consequently the position that environmental education should entail widespread educational reform is nowadays becoming stronger and more evident.
