Environmental education and Environmental capital development at School level : case study on Sikkim

School expansion of Sikkim has a direct impact on human capital development and on social equality. Unchecked expansion in countries with low school Environmental education participation rates has the potential to increase inequality, as measured by the gender and social background of students. In today‟s world, acquisition of the enabling skills and competencies necessary for civic participation and economic success depends on access to good school Environmental education. Investment in school Environmental education in developing countries can be justified not only on the grounds of its contribution to productivity increases, which lay the basis for sustained economic growth and poverty reduction, but also for its contribution to Environmental capital development and its associated effects on democracy, crime reduction, and improvement of living conditions. School Environmental education plays a key articulating role between primary schooling, tertiary Environmental education, and the labor market. The specific dynamics of this articulation is crucial because it determines future Environmental educational and job opportunities for young people. School Environmental education can become a bottleneck constraining the expansion of Environmental educational attainment and opportunity, or, conversely, it can open a set of pathways and alternative channels for students‟ advancement.
