“I want to make the Italian education system the first education system that puts the environment and society at the core of everything we learn in school,” said Education Minister Lorenzo Fioramonti, who is also an economics professor at South Africa’s Pretoria University.

As per CNN the environment lessons will be built into existing classes starting from 2020. The lessons will help them evolve a sustainable mindset towards nature while making “the citizens of the future; ready for the climate emergency”.
