Population education not crisis education

Abstract

Population education should be taught in the schools, not in response to a crisis, but as a means of providing knowledge and concepts to children. This may obviate future population crises. By treating population education as a crisis reaction, the effect of education is overrepresented; teachers and students are frustrated in not achieving the goal. The National Education Association publication of 1943 called for the introduction of population education into the schools. If it had been done then, we would have less of a gap between the concern of today's students and their knowledge. The level of understanding of leaders might be higher. Policy makers would not expect immediate results from population programs.
