Abstract: Environmental education is increasingly needed, currently it has been widely discussed nowadays, due to the need to improve the world we live in, by promoting new habits. The school is a space where the student will continue the process of socialization. However, it must offer environmental content in a contextualized way with reality. In view of the context, the MEC incorporated the environmental dimension as a Transversal Theme in Basic Education curricula, characterizing Environmental Education as an issue that requires attention and discussion about the relationship between environmental problems and the economic, political, social and historical factors that cause environmental conflicts, and alert to the care that is indispensable for the maintenance and continuity of the quality of life. Environmental education is both a formal and informal activity with which the school must be concerned with simultaneously promoting the preservation of the environment and improving the quality of life. The objective of this work is to analyze the importance of Environmental Education in the school context, in order to improve knowledge and raise students' awareness about environmental issues, so that they seek solutions to current problems and contribute to a desired future for all. This is an applied research, descriptive of a case study with the purpose of analyzing the importance of Environmental Education in the school context in the municipality of Simões in the School Unit Raul Sérgio. The data collection was through a questionnaire containing 15 questions being objective and subjective. The results obtained show that there is an understanding that Environmental Education is an education process whose main goal is to multiply knowledge about the environment in order to educate the citizens towards environmental behavior. The environmental issue requires new theoretical and practical knowledge for its comprehension and resolution.
