Legislation and Regulations One of the priorities of the Ministry of Education National Strategy on Education is environmental education. Since 1993, Iceland has had an Act requiring the Government to provide information about the environment. To fulfill this requirement, the Ministry of the Environment must publish an environmental report every year. The Government also produces educational material on environment to schools. Developing teaching material is also important.
Audiovisual material is used only occasionally.
The Ministry of Education issues national curricula guidelines to primary, secondary and vocational schools. The curricula at primary schools are being revised to address, e.g. sustainable development. Measures are being taken to revise the curricula of both secondary and vocational schools where this issue will also be addressed. The schools in Iceland also carry out several projects dealing with local environmental problems. The Icelandic media has reported about the best projects.
