Technological progress in developed countries sometimes has a negative impact on the environment, Azerbaijan's Deputy Minister of Science and Education Firudin Gurbanov said at a conference dedicated to a green future.
According to the deputy minister, environmental culture should become an important part of the educational process.
"Developing environmental awareness in people is one of the key tasks. Special attention must be paid to ecology in the education system. Declaring this year as the 'Green World Solidarity Year' was an important step in this area.
On the first day of school, teachers in educational institutions conducted lessons on the topic 'Green World Solidarity Year,' which is a significant contribution to the development of environmental culture," said Gurbanov.
