85 Significance of the Study

86 The researcher believes that the result of the study will be significant

87 to the following:

88 Paracale National High School. The students will be more aware of the behavioral issues

89 in waste disposal. Through this, they may realize the need for behavioral change that only them

90 can initiate and may lead to their participation in the school’s solid waste disposal and

91 management. On the other hand, the teachers will be guided by this study as to how they will

92 integrate in their lessons, environmental education. They may be guided in determining strategies
 93 that may increase environmental knowledge and awareness among students that may lead to

94 desirable waste disposal and management behavior of students

95 School Administrators.
