Project Report from the year 2018 in the subject Geography / Earth Science - Physical Geography, Geomorphology, Environmental Studies, grade: A, Lovely Professional University, Punjab, course: PhD Education, language: English, abstract: Education of the people globally is expected to help solve societal and environmental problems, improve, and manage way of life. However, solid waste management has become a challenge in many countries not excluding India despite intensive education. Solid waste in India has been considered as low priority and is causing unsustainable environment. A well designed education curriculum for the people can help best manage solid waste even though it is unavoidable. This study seeks to incorporate the lapses of solid waste management skills: handling, collecting, disposing, storage, transporting, recycling, dumping etc. in the Secondary and senior Secondary education curriculum of India as compulsory and suggest to the stakeholders' most appropriate solid waste management skills to be provided by the Secondary and senior Secondary curriculum of India. At the Secondary level curriculum, these skills are missing from Social Science syllabus and not well detail in the Environmental Science of the Senior Secondary level curriculum. In all the population selected for the eight towns, Forty interviews will be conducted in each of the towns and eight hundred questionnaires will be issued out using random sampling technique. One hundred questionnaires will be administered to the respondents in each of the towns: Goraya and Philour of Jalandhar District, Khaira and Samrala of Ludhiana District, Phagwara and Sultanpru of Kapurthala, and Shahid Bhagat Singh, all in the Punjab State; students, teachers, workers of waste management organizations, and education experts. Much is happening internationally to promote environmental education. The scares resources, vast increasing population, rapid urbanization, and increasing global industrialization have called for protection of the environment through education. Environmental education can be defined as "process of providing learning experiences to obtain knowledge, understanding, skills, and awareness with desirable attitudinal changes about man's relationship with his natural and man-made surroundings".
