ECOGOV COURSES AT UP-NCPAG

In a survey I conducted right after my back-to-back special lecture with Atty. Oposa in August 2005 (see earliest posting) with 67 undergraduate and doctoral students, majority agreed that there is a need to offer courses on Environmental Governance (EcoGov) at UP-NCPAG, and that the latter should offer it.

However, almost a third of them believed that UP-NCPAG may not be prepared yet to offer those courses. The tables show the answers from the 67 respondents.

Almost half (43%) of the total number of respondents would like to have it taught at the undergraduate level (understandble because majority of the respondents are undegraduate students). Majority (69%) of them will register and attend EcoGov courses. The most interesting courses for them are: Philippine Environmental Laws (64%) and Environmental Management Techniques (64%). These are followed by: Introduction to Environmental Governance (60%), Environmental Economics (55%), Environmental Policy Analysis (53%), Environmental Compliance and Sustainable Development (53%), Environmental Ethics (50%), International Environmental Law and Treaties (44%), and Theories of Environmentalism (23%).
