The purpose of this research was to investigate the role that science education can play both in
facilitating and in enhancing the delivery of environmental education at South African schools. The
theoretical links between science education and environmental education were examined. This was
followed by a practical investigation which involves the researcher conducting interviews with educators
of natural science in order to determine their perspectives on the relationship between science education
and environmental education. The results of the research indicate that science education has tremendous
potential for incorporating and enhancing the delivery of environmental education. However, this
potential is not being fuIly realised due to a number of limiting factors. It is, therefore, imperative that the
education authorities take immediate action to rectify this situation so that the synergy between science
education and environmental education comes to fruition. / Science and Technology Education / M. Ed. (Natural Science Education)
