Abstract To popularity the environmental education need a large number of teachers who with knowledge fairly overall the environment science. However the teachers in environmental education can not satisfied the demand completely. Department of Geography in Guangzhou teacher's college should be brought into full play to tackle this problem. Some foundations have been possessed to develop the environmental education in Guangzhou City. If we utilizing the advantage factors sufficiently and taking the environmental education in middle schools as the breach, a new prospect of educational education must be founded in Guangzhou. Middle school stage is an impotent period to broaden and deepen the knowledge of teenagers, so is a good chance to take systemic environmental education too. Taking the cultivation of the middle school teachers as the main task, the Department of Geography in Guangzhou Teachers collage should take the environmental education in middle school as one of its main research subjects. Now the reformation in education system are carrying out and the “Answer test education” is transferring to “quality education” in our country. The education on the environment consciousness, which embodies the citizen quality level, must become the important content of the middle school teachings gradually.
