This article focuses on the National Curriculum in England. Environmental education is an officially recognized and documented cross-curricular theme of the National Curriculum for schools. It is one of the first five themes to be documented, alongside health education, education for citizenship, careers education and guidance, and economic and industrial understanding. Themes are regarded not as an appendage to be tacked on to the core and foundation subjects, but as a central element of the curriculum as a whole, having progression and continuity like all subject areas. By definition, they are cross-curricular, and thus can feature in or arise out of a number of other areas of the curriculum. The themes share the ability to promote thinking and discussion on questions of values and belief; they add to knowledge and understanding; and they rely on practical, experiential learning and decision making. Schools have freedom to interpret the guidelines for the various themes and to decide how best to incorporate them into the curriculum as a whole.
