Meanwhile, Dr. Haddy Jatau Sey, ISESCO's Education Sector Head, emphasized that, given the impacts of climate change in the Maldives, this teacher training on greening education is essential for embedding climate resilience into classroom teaching."
The workshop concluded with participants developing an action plan to implement Fehi Madharusa in schools. The newly trained trainers will return to their respective schools to conduct further training, ensuring the sustainability of green education practices across the nation.
