Abstract :
The study investigated secondary school studentsʹ environmental awareness in India
and Iran. Nine hundred and ninety-one students were selected through the stratified random
sampling technique from 103 secondary schools of Mysore city (India) and Tehran city (Iran).
Subjects consisted of 476 boys and 515 girls. They were assessed using the Environment
Awareness Ability Measure (EAAM). Results indicate that there are significant differences
between Indian and Iranian students in their level of environmental awareness. Also there are
significant differences between them in environmental awareness across and within two groups
with regard to their gender. Also type of school management (Government and private) is a factor,
which can affect student’s environmental awareness in both countries.
