Popis:	Tiblisi conference (1977) developed six objectives of Environmental Education in which ‘environmental awareness’ comes lowest in the hierarchy of cognitive development among the school children. This awareness acts as a motive force for the students to make their environment free from pollution and hazards. A study was conducted to find how far this awareness depends upon their sex and the pollution characteristics of the localities of their schools they read in. A sample of 1063 students completing their upper primary stage and comprising boys and girls hailed from schools situated in polluted and non polluting areas of West Bengal, India, was subjected to a test of awareness about ‘environmental pollution’. It is found that pollution awareness of the students is almost independent of sex of the students and pollution characteristics in the neighbourhood of their schools but interaction of sex & school locality have some significant impact on such awareness.
