Women via food, water, household waste and energy management at home could create very positive results to maintain the environment. The purpose of environmental education was to increase awareness and or the ability to recognize and describe the environmental issues so the people can acquire skills or to develop methods to solve environmental problems. The aim of this study was to estimate the environmental education objectives, assess the level of knowledge of teachers in secondary schools in the Ahvaz region 4 in relation to environmental issues in 1393 .100 questionnaires containing 17 items were distributed in 4 schools in Ahwaz region. Collected data were analyzed with descriptive methods. The results showed the necessity of environmental education in the community and lack of environmental information. The sample teachers stated lack of environmental responsibility and ignorance, and ignorance of the people were as causes of environmental issues worsening. A large number of teachers remarked that direct education to students and educational workshops were to be considering as effective methods. The most important environmental problems in the country according to the respondents was the lack of environmental responsibility, the current energy crisis, air pollution and waste disposal. Such estimation reﬂected the low teachers ' knowledge of environmental problems. Because problems such as degradation and depletion of natural resources, global warming and population growth are far more important than the broader principles of waste disposal. Therefore, it is recommended that the Ministry of Education should consider a series of scientifc studies and environmental planning related to the environment in course content in different ways.
