A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF ENVIRONMENTAL AWARENESS OF DIFFERENT LEVEL TEACHERS

This study aims to compare the environmental awareness among teachers at different levels—primary, secondary, and higher secondary—across government and private schools in Jammu City. A sample of 105 teachers was selected through random sampling and assessed using the Environmental Awareness Test for Teachers (EATT) by Dhawan (2011). The study revealed that less than 50% of teachers demonstrated average environmental awareness, with no significant differences found across the teaching levels or between male and female teachers. These results highlight the need for enhanced environmental awareness programs for educators, to better equip them to impart knowledge on environmental issues to students.
