Ecological Education a taboo in Spain

Abstract

[eng] Living through a global pandemic has not been an easy task for many educational systems. In Spain, as in many parts of the world the current educational structure limits nature interaction by stabilising severe rules of behaviour and arquictecting education towards correction and conditional systems Carrasco, S.; Pibernat, M. (2020). Children have been the ones most affected as they were still in their developmental stages during the pandemic and needed consistent engagement through learning and contact. The Covid19 pandemic also brought out the realisation to offer nature and ecology school concepts to address recorrent needs and break from the paradigm of old educational systems. Schools in Spain have around 25 students per class, mask requirements and group rules were strict, making time in nature all the more valuable.
