The Malaysian Ministry of Education has played an active role in its effort to develop a curriculum on environmental education and implementing it in various teaching and learning strategies in schools. The environmental subject, called Alam dan Manusia (Man and Environment), was once incorporated in the primary school curriculum which began in 1982 (Arba’at 2006). It was a multi-disciplinary approach taught to primary school students only. However, the subject was scrapped after ten years of implementation (Arba’at 1992). It was then replaced by another subject called the Social Studies (Kajian Tempatan)
