Moreover, school system administration is divided by authority among 14 Ministries of Education: 10 cantonal, 2 other entities, 1 Brcko District and 1 national Ministry of Civil Affairs, responsible for national coordination and international cooperation in the fields of science and education. K-12 Education The educational system is divided into the preschool level, elementary school (grades 8-9), high school (grades 3-4) and higher/university education. Within this system, Environmental Education (EE) is not a separate subject, but a cross-curriculum topic that has certain units covered in different subjects e.g. nature & society for elementary school or later in biology. More practical work is done through eco- clubs, an extra-curricular activity designed and run by teachers without any official framework, monitoring, guidebooks or the like.
