Energy on school curricula
“Energy awareness” is to beepme an integral part of>b?<siK Zealand primary arid secondary school curricula. The Ministers of Education (Mr Wellington), and Energy ,(Mr, Birch), have announced that “energy” will be blended into existing subjects such as home economics, science, social studies, and geography. Integrating the subject into the school 'system was the best way of developing comprehensive understanding, they said. This new effort to take energy into the classroom has come after an investigation by the Ministry of Energy into energy education. In 1979 a joint project bycthe two departments investigated the opportunities for energy studies within existing subjects; subjects were chosen oh the basis of this study. Subsequently, working parties examined ways of using existing resources and facilities in the teaching. Their suggestions will be published later this year.
