INTRODUCTION
The school is a social system in a controlled environment where formal education is offered which is located in a well defined place. Ecology is surmountable to environment which is the surrounding in which a person objevts or situation exists or occurs. The ecology of education therfore, is a place where social interactions exist among pupils or students, teachers, and other workers within the school community and its surroundings.
The school is an extension of the home in the larger community. Invariably, the school is influenced by various factors. For better understanding, the keypoints of this assignment needs clarification which has been made lucid below:

WHAT IS ECOLOGY?
Ecology is the branch of biology concerned with the relations of organisms to one another and to their physical surroundings. The semantics of the concept ecology for many scientists is still related merely to the research in the field of natural sciences, first of all, in the field of animal and/or plant ecology as well as to the solution of nature protection and sustainability problems nowadays. It has its substantiation, since the term ecology in the scientific terminology was introduced by a German Zoologist E. Haeckel. During the 20th century there emerged and developed new scientific conceptions and theories, representing different sub-trends of human ecology, because the ecological paradigm became an transdisciplinary scientific paradigm. The new trends of human ecology began to develop on the basis of particular sciences, focusing the scientists' attention towards one or several environmental contexts. In human ecology we can distinguish psychological ecology/ecology of psychology, economic ecology, politecology/ecological politology, social ecology, cultural ecology, art ecology, family ecology, anthropological ecology, deep ecology/ecosophy as environmental ethics, educational ecology/ecology of education, etc.

WHAT IS ECOLOGY OF EDUCATION?
The philosophical-methodological basis of the various trends of modern human ecology became also the grounds for the development of ecology of education as an interdisciplinary trend of human ecology. Ecology of Education is one of the trends of human ecology; the interdiscipline integrating natural, social sciences, and the humanities, which studies the interaction between a human being as individual and/or social systems and the multidimensional environment from the holistic perspective, viewing education as the facilitator of the sphere, process, result, and development of human activity in the aspect of human and environmental quality/trait. Due to the variety of the trends of human ecology, the varied explanations and interpretation of the concept environment are also transferred to educational ecology:
1) environment — it is us (social environment);
2) environment is everything that surrounds us and is outside us;
3) environment — the totality of the reflections of real things, phenomena, processes in the human psyche;
4) environment is a multilevel ecological system (ecosystem), within which a human being is as an endosystem, sub-structure of ecosystem;
5) environment is a multi-component and multi-functional system of interaction, where a human being is an integral part of environment;
6) environment as an interaction process;
7) environment as the sphere of human activities;
cool environment as the field of semantics;
9) environment as a resource; and
10) environment as a means for social stratification.

WHAT IS EDUCATIONAL MANAGEMENT?
Educational Management (Oshemughen, 2016) is the process of formulating educational policies and programmes by utilising both human and material resources, in order to achieve the educational goals of effective and efficient teaching and learning, by engaging in the activities of planning, organising, staffing, directing, coordinating and controlling, reporting and budgeting (POSDCORB) at a macro level.
Re: Ecology Of Educational Management by Bluehaven(m): 9:24pm On May 19, 2019
WHO ARE EDUCATIONAL ADMINISTRATORS?
Oshemughen (2016) looks at Educational Administrators as those individuals or groups that initiates the process of implementing educational policies and programmes by utilising both human and material resources in order to achieve the set educational goals of effective teaching and learning by engaging in the POSDCORB activities at the micro level.

ECOLOGY OF EDUCATIONAL MANAGEMENT
Ecology of Educational Management involves considering certain aspects in the school system that are managerial, pedagogical, organisational, and technological which enhances the educational organisation in its internal and external ecology.
Management of the educational ecology involves performing the strategic analysis that are educational. Making decisions managers should take into consideration both external and internal factors that influences the process of identification and evaluation of possible techniques and methods aimed at achieving their goals. From the holistic perspective, educational management needs multiple perspectives to be considered in the context of providing constant higher school improvement. Education managers must take every advantage of traditional management tools and approaches to both education and management.
Thus, educational managers take into account both external and internal tactical determinants that might affect their operation and influence the choice of actions and methods used for achieving their educational ecological goals. In order to collect and analyze necessary data managers employ environmental scanning: environmental factors internal to the organization are categorized as strengths and weaknesses; the external factors are categorized as opportunities and threats (SWOT analysis). In relation to the external environment, managers considers the following:
a) the main macroenvironment forces (political-legal, economic, socio-cultural, and technological - PEST;
b) microenvironment actors customers, suppliers, distributors, competitors.

The issue of preserving the environment is an important point. I think we can get the hang of it.

It seems to me that we are obliged to engage in the education of our children. Environmental education is an important step towards a happy planet. The environment is a complex mechanism that requires attention and respect. I recently read some cool educational texts https://envrexperts.com/ on environmental safety. Urbanization is the process of becoming cities and this process harms natural resources. We are becoming hostages of technological progress.

It's actually quite sad that students nowadays don't learn as much about ecology and that this subject was quite forgotten. I was shocked to see that people don't know much about ocean pollution - one of the most significant issues of our time. The amount of plastic in the ocean is staggering, and just one piece of trash can take years to break down. Ocean life is in danger as a result of over-consumption and pollution. Still, there are search engines with ocean cleanup purposes , which are making a pretty good job if you are looking on their website.
