Sixteen key knowledge issues were extracted from the Royal LERD Project in order to set 4 examination questions each issue for testing the science based education of 117 school teachers as the representatives of Uttaradit province, the Lower North of Thailand. After they failed of the test at Uttaradit Rajabhat University, all sets of 4 examination questions were modified to approach science based education in order to test the smallhomogeneous group of 45 school teachers at Kong Kai Lad school in Sukhothai province, adjacent to the south of Uttaradit province, but it was not successful again because they were still weak in science for garbage and wastewater. There was no choice, the decision had to be made by improving the modified key knowledge issues to approach science based education towards science training program to clarify the community garbage disposal and wastewater treatment as final suggestion to train the environmental school teachers. There were 11 suggested subjects as follows: Solid Waste Management, Water Quality Management, Plant Physiology, Aquatic Plant, Thermoosmosis, Organic Composting, Thermodynamics, Herbivore Fish Culture, Soil Science, Environmental Toxicology, and Environmental Designing.
