This study aimed to examine the impact of National Environmental Management Council (NEMC) educational programme upon environmental education at Nyamagana District in Mwanza region. The study employed mixed method where by both quantitative research method and qualitative research methods are used because every method for data collection possesses strength and shortcoming. Data were collected through semi structured interviews, focus group discussions (FGDs), documentary reviews and non participant observation from a sample of three hundred and ninety four (394) respondents. The findings of the study indicated awareness of the concept of environment among teachers and students as total surroundings including man. The findings also revealed challenges schools are facing in the course of teaching environmental education even though there are some of advice from the NEMC upon environmental education. The study concluded that EE is the need of present and coming generations and that it had contributed in addressing environmental problems at school level although the strategies for implementation were still weak and inadequate. Teachers were recommended to update themselves with new teaching approaches so as to match with the changing world. Students were recommended to put theory into practice. The study recommends for similar study using larger sample to enable generalization of the results that will give the national insight on an evaluation of the practice of theoretical concepts in environmental education
