To materialize the study, a qualitative methodological approach was used, of a descriptive nature and non-probabilistic sampling for convenience through the application of a semi-structured interview addressed to ten members of the school community, including the Director of Maguiguana Complete Primary School, two teachers, five students, and two school cleaning staff. The results show that EC is implemented on a non-permanent basis, showing the need to increase the training of teaching professionals to materialize EE for EC. Environmental education strategies developed such as lectures and awareness campaigns make it possible to not generate a positive impact due to their infrequency and lack of understanding of the term EC. It is recommended that MINEHD create of environment education manuals and train teaching professionals about EE for EA and to maximize the dissemination of information about Environmental Education and Environmental Citizenship at school
