Abstract

This thesis examines teachers’ experiences in one primary school in North Macedonia.The purpose is to understand how Macedonian teachers view environmental education and what challenges they face in its implementation. The data is gathered through qualitative interviews. The data produces three assertions; a) teachers recognize the need for environmental education as environmental awareness seems to be very low among the general public; b) the teachers stress the importance of an early start and upbringing in acquiring environmental awareness; c) insufficient resources limit the realization of environmental education. Improvement recommendations include: increasing parental involvement through interactive workshops, investing in reusable gloves for trash pickup events, and investing in transportation for more contextual learning. This thesis concludes by summarizing the findings and emphasizing the suggestions for improvement.
