Summary/Abstract: Ecological education is one of the priorities of the contemporary educational phenomenon. This fact is not due to the existence of a "fashionable" trend in the field of pedagogy but the awareness to a growing extent of the reality that our present actions on the planet and our way of relating to its resources will determine the fate of future generations. However, in many countries, the issue of ecological education issues is often in a secondary position in terms of the school curriculum, ignoring the fact that there is a close bond between promoting a way of thinking and action oriented on ecological principles and values on the one hand and sustainable development on the other hand . Considering that the school is the main factor of forming ecological awareness and developing ecologic behavior, our research aims to study the opinions of future teachers in primary and pre-school education regarding ecological issues and how to handle them.
