Which DepEd Order covers Environmental Education?

• A. DepEd Order no. 5 s. 1975
• B. DepEd Order no. 25 s. 2002
• C. DepEd Order no. 74 s. 2012
• D. DepEd Order no. 52 s. 2011

Answer: (D)

Environmental Education is addressed through a DepEd policy that sets how it should be integrated into the basic education curriculum. The order issued in 2011 explicitly covers Environmental Education, providing the policy direction, scope, and guidance for incorporating environmental topics across grade levels, learning areas, and school activities. This makes it the authoritative source for environmental education in Philippine basic education. The other orders, issued in different years, focus on different policy areas and do not specifically govern Environmental Education, so they don’t fit as the correct source.
