Summary/Abstract: Given that the school is one of the most important institutions of society observed centuries ago, it is clear that it has a large and significant role in dealing with all social problems and challenges that arise during human development, including current environmental difficulties and challenges. The goal of environmental education is to form awareness among young people about environmental issues, environmental awareness, readiness for responsible treatment of the environment, as well as for environmentally conscious behavior that should continue after time spent at school. Children's attitude towards nature is activated if they have the opportunity to get to know the environment directly. By acting on it, as living and active beings, children notice the interdependence of the human-nature relationship. Active orientation of ecological learning, related to the emotional-affective dimension of surprise contributes to the fact that this action is not reduced to mere activism, but it can solve two difficulties at the same time: -students' attitude towards the future; an important factor in the development of environmental education. This refers to curricula, textbooks, teachers and extracurricular activities. The teacher is an important factor in developing students' environmental attitudes. He organizes and leads the process of acquiring environmental knowledge, forms the attitudes and habits of students and directly affects the personality of students through his actions. The condition is that he knows the environmental problems and is aware of the environmental consequences. In addition to the implementation of curricula, he is required to be the initiator and organizer of extracurricular and extracurricular forms of environmental education.
