The research was carried out from May 2016 to June 2017 to study the situation of education activities on environment in primary schools. The research focuses on education managers, teachers and students’ parents. Results showed that most of teachers and students’ parents agree that environmental education activities for primary students have positive impacts on raising students’ awareness on environment and environmental protection. Besides, these activites receive huge support from schools’ directorate including providing related teaching materials, budget and delegating teachers to join these activities. However, one of the major issues is that there is not enough budget invested in the two most popular activities which are adding environmental topics in science subjects and organizing extra-curricular activities. To enhance the activities' quality, based on the results, some suggestions were proposed such as enhancing the engagement of education government bodies, investing more budget for the activities.
