The aim of this study is to explore teachers’ attitudes towards environmental education (EE), and the relation of these attitudes with other socio-demographic factors, such as area of residence and local environmental conditions. We focus on the case of Viotia prefecture. Our results indicate that the teachers’ attitudes towards EE are strongly related to their attitudes towards the environment and environmental problems in their areas of residence, while knowledge and information on environmental issues are strongly related to the positive attitudes towards EE. The results of this study indicate possible factors involved in the formation of the attitudes of EE teachers and also possible aspects to be considered for the design of effective policies for EE teacher training.
