In doing so, an attempt was made to see the students' awareness, attitude and practice regarding environmental concerns.

An awareness test, attitude inventory and rating scale questionnaires were administered to the students to investigate their awareness of and attitude toward environmental concerns, and factors hindering the dissemination of environmental education to the community. A10reover, a questionnaire was administered to the teachers and an interview was conducted wilh the parents to examine studenis' practices in disseminating environmental education. The data was, then, analyzed using percentage, class interval, t-test and correlation matrix. The results of the study revealed that the students had an awareness of basic environmental education issues and also had favourable altitude toward the conservation of resources. Nonetheless, their practices in disseminating environmental education to the community was found to be relatively much less.
