Abstract :
Traces of the history of formal environmental education in Iran can be found in the first official planning. But in fact, environmental education in its current sense is not more than thirty decades old. During this period, efforts were made to include environmental issues in the official programs of the country, and environmental issues were included in various courses. The aim of the present study is environmental curriculum planning in school education and curricula in Iran. The main question of the research: What solutions can be proposed to improve the current situation of environmental protection in school education and curricula in Iran? This research is a library survey and the information needed to respond to the years has been gathered through library documents, research reports and searches on the World Wide Web. Findings showed that the current situation of environmental protection in environmental education in Iran is not very good despite the efforts made and the attention that other pioneer countries have to environmental protection in their school education is not observed in Iran. The present study also suggests solutions such as environmental education curriculum design, environmental education needs assessment, and a fundamental review of the content of environmental education in order to improve the environmental protection situation in curricula in Iran.
