A Study on Education of Sea at Textbook of Compulsory Education

Abstract

The ocean is a vast space and contains immeasurable resources such as biological resources and mineral resources, and the means for harnessing these resources is being studied. Moreover, our country is surrounded on all four sides by the ocean. We have had flourishing fishing and shipping industries since olden days, and we have been referred to as a maritime country which has benefited from many things the ocean provides. However, it is said that public concern about the ocean is low.

One of the causes for this is that people haven't been educated sufficiently about the sea. Students should be made aware of the continuous interest and concern of the , ocean. Consequently, we gain an understanding of the present situation of sea education through textbooks, during the period of compulsory education when students are more susceptible, and look for an ideal direction of sea education for the future.
