h. Training and drilling in emergency procedures- first aid and fire fighting, explosions, collapses, snake bites etc. On the one hand, third world countries recycle more material (for example, waste paper, plastics, metal scrap etc.) and on the other, they spread more garbage around and are less conscious of aesthetic needs (slums particularly) during urbanization, lacking discipline and awareness. 3) Factors where environment could be more pleasant and healthy, with little monetary cost but a lot of collective effort. a. Afforestation, good sanitation, clean villages, removal of slums. What is lacking is awareness and local leadership. Chapter V: Teacher Training. All technical and vocational education should combine: 1. Study of related science and technology. 2. Development of skills. 3. Application of knowledge and skills. The environmental education must also have the same three components. The trainees must handle live environmental problems; experience the constraints and limitations of the work place. They must learn about the organisation and the role of economic and human factors that mould decisions. Environmental discipline is best learnt by having the direct experience of working in a well-organised group. Unfortunately, such groups are not too common. If teachers can be induced to maintain such a work place, the problem will be much simpler. Environmental discipline is like a "health" factor; lack of it attracts criticism, having it does not bring rewards. The decisions, therefore, give precedence to output rather than the environmental discipline. < Rural Development Through Education System 160
