Among the duration for all subjects, the rate of duration for the environmental subjects is 15,56 % (122 course hours) in 2005 Science and Technology curriculum but the rate is 14,89 % (104 course hours) in new curriculum. The dominant volute structure in 2005 curriculum is minded less and drifted from this character. Objectives about the crustal structure, habitat, ecosystem, sustainable energy resources reduced; objectives about paedogenesis, transformation of rocks, adaptation and evolution, removed from 2013 curriculum.
