Yes, this is about my work. Last February we have worked the logical framework for environmental education program in Melawi. The program itself start last April, and since then I have return to Nanga Pinoh each months , the capital city of Melawi district. We just finished first phase of the program. I'm feel bit smug, it like a test, my first "big and long term" program. Actually the local facilitators and workshop gone more than I expected. But, I will not talk about it ,let the feeling and "mumbo jumbo" became my privileged (hehee).
It about the local education board. I can't understand with the government. Give it like this, you are paid by the country (that got money from the good citizen :-D) to do some work. In education board it mean some functions like to ensure children get their right on education. This include environmental education that can take various forms in curriculum, formal, informal, integrated, depend on the readiness of the implementer (education board, school, teacher, curricula, tools, etc). So, when there was teachers and schools that care with the environment problems around, especially in Melawi, want to make a change with implementing environmental education in their school, and will preparing all the needs by themselves, it means the education board are helped in one of their function. But, what happened is, people in education board see this as a good "money earning" thing, that they should get some share. What a chump!!!
