Confusion Points
It should be noted that understanding interrelationships of human with the rest of the world is not the objective of EVS education, because EVS aims to develop sensitivity of surrounding, while understanding 'rest of the world' is too vast term to use.
Hence, we conclude that understanding the interrelationship of humans with the rest of the world is not the objective of environmental education.
