Continuing environmental education as a a key factor in the formation of the ecological culture of children and youth: deficits and solutions

At what levels is the content of modern environmental education in our country being implemented and based on what is it being "built" today? How does the continuity of eco-education affect the achievement of a high level of ecological culture of the population? And, finally, is there a counter-response to this state request in society, in particular among children and youth, orienting them to eco-education and practical participation in solving a complex of environmental problems and ensuring environmental safety? Attempting to analyze state measures to improve environmental education, the author identifies deficits and barriers, determines opportunities for the effective development of environmental education in the context of its continuity, taking into account the formation of a public-state request for the eco-cultural and careeroriented component of children and youth.
