Our living environment is increasingly polluted, not only because the amount of resources is increasingly being indiscriminately exploited, there are still many forms of production that pollute the environment, toxic substances which are difficult to decompose into the environment because of not-good human consciousness of some people. The improper collection and classification of daily-life waste is an issue that needs to be addressed. Besides, the situation of indiscriminate garbage disposal and many serious environmental pollution points is formed. Some people even bring domestic waste, dead animal carcasses to rivers and lakes right where they live. Facing the increasing risks of natural environmental pollution, Vietnam needs to promote the education of environmental protection awareness for all people in general and primary school students in particular. Students are the future generation of the country, are the decisive owners for the development of the whole society and are also the people most affected by natural resources and the environment. The article uses survey methods and analyzes data from journals and recent studies. The results show that we need to take action today so that students feel responsible for protecting resources and the environment for a clean and green world.

The aim of this study was to identify the factors associated with school refusal behavior in primary school students. Student’s self-report and teacher’s measures were implemented; and students were recruited from 20 primary schools in six districts in Selangor, Malaysia. The survey was conducted at the end of school term in 2016, with a total of 915 students from Year 4 and Year 5 participating. The sample of students had been absent from school for more than 15% of school days in the current year. Pearson correlation shows a significant relationship between academic achievement and school satisfaction toward school refusal behavior. The findings of this study suggest that academic difficulties and dissatisfaction towards school environment could be the important risk factors for school refusal behavior. The present study underscores the importance of early detection and intervention as measures to reduce school refusal. Finally, the findings imply that the role of school factors should always be taken into account in connection with school refusal behaviour.
