Abstract
This article aims to show how to integrate the environmental dimension in the Moroccan education system. Through the disciplinary content, that must ensure the construction of solid theoretical skills, and knowledge about the environment. Among learners by providing them with the necessary knowledge and practical and extracurricular activities, provided by the environmental clubs, which allows a multidimensional teaching linked to the concerns of society. Several pedagogical practices can be carried out within environmental clubs: fieldwork by visits and ecological outings, activities by projects, partnership. These practices are considered important educational structures capable of ensuring the development of environmental culture in schools. However, several constraints to the activation of these clubs can be reported with school rhythms that are expressed both by a busy program for students and the hourly load for teachers. This does not favour learning contexts that put the student in various situations, including those outside the classroom. Hence the need to reduce school curricula and capitalize on good practices and initiatives in environmental education.
