This book sought to investigate the complementary role of primary school Environmental Science curriculum to environmental education programmes in Masvingo District. Data was collected through questionnaires, oral interviews and content analysis. Some of the major results indicate lack of correct syllabus interpretation, difficulties in incorporating environmental education during normal teaching time, lack of time and resources at school level. The study recommends that teachers be educated in the significance of environmental education through workshops, schools can establish environmental care centres which can act as microcosm of the natural environment. Lastly can establish Environmental Clubs that can spearhead environmental projects at each school in the district.
