school teachers (Grade VI to VIII) in relation to type of school, gender and subject streams. Environmental
Awareness Test was used for collecting data from a random sample of 200 upper primary school teachers. Statistical
techniques such as mean, standard deviation and t test were applied for analysis of data. The results revealed that
upper primary school teachers have average level of environmental education awareness. However, no significant
differences were observed in environmental education awareness of these teachers in relation to type of school,
gender and subject streams. Keywords : Article : Cite This Article : Vipinder Nagra And Kulwant Kaur, (2013). Environmental Awareness Among Upper Primary School Teachers.
