THE IMPORTANCE OF INTRODUCING A CULTURE OF USING PUBLIC SERVICES INTO EDUCATION
Abstract
This article analyzes, from both scientific-theoretical and practical perspectives, the relevance of integrating a culture of rational use of public utility services (water, electricity, and gas) into the education system. The study highlights the formation of a conscious and responsible attitude toward resources among the younger generation, based on the principles of ecological culture, energy efficiency, and sustainable development. Furthermore, within the framework of international documents, including UNESCO’s “Education for Sustainable Development” concept and the Sustainable Development Goals adopted by the United Nations, the normative foundations for fostering a culture of energy and resource conservation are examined.
