Abstract:
The process of development is education. The totality of all external factors that affect human life and the growth of other living things is known as the environment. Every living thing has a unique environment. Both the natural and sociocultural environments make up man’s environment. In order to achieve the desired modification of his own behaviour, education may change and improve the quality of man’s environment (awareness, attitude shift, etc.). Education deals with the different issues and rules influencing pupils’ interactions with their surroundings. The school develops this and the teacher, both formally and informally. Education is Human Ecology, which examines how people and their environment interact in the context of human growth and development. Sustainable development is the ultimate goal of “mankind,” according to UNESCO.
