| contents | <p>Education played a pivotal role in the success of a solid waste management program because it helped people understand the importance of taking care of our environment. This phenomenological study investigated the perspectives of ten elementary teachers at Magugpo Pilot Imelda Elementary School regarding solid waste management. It explored their lived experiences, challenges, and coping mechanisms. The study identified three main themes in the participant's experiences: the importance of proper implementation, nurturing good values, and collective effort. Additionally, two themes focused on teachers' coping strategies, including student participation and adequate education on policy. Furthermore, Insights on solid waste management revealed that consistency drove change, and collaboration was vital. These findings shed light on educators' roles in waste reduction, recycling, and environmental education, offering valuable input for elementary school curriculum development and environmental policy. On the educational landscape, solid waste management in schools was crucial for fostering environmental stewardship among students and staff, instilling sustainable habits from a young age. Schools generate significant waste daily, including paper, food scraps, and packaging materials. By implementing effective waste management practices, schools could reduce their environmental footprint, conserve resources, and teach students valuable lessons about waste reduction, recycling, and responsible consumption.</p> |
