Environmental Education is a transversal theme usually included in the school curriculum in Science and Geography subjects in elementary school. This work addresses the practices and barriers related to Environmental Education (EE) in the municipal education network in the city of Olinda-PE. To this end, the literature searched for support for an empirical research and analyzing the pedagogical practices developed in municipal schools and in public sectors of the municipality responsible for EE practices. We opted for qualitative and quantitative research through semi-structured interviews with managers and teachers, as well as direct observations in departments responsible for teaching in the public network. The results reveal that EE in the municipality of Olinda needs public policies that invest in continuous projects for the education of students in a transformative EE and that the socio-environmental theme needs to be present in the school curriculum in an interdisciplinary way. It was possible to identify a mismatch between what the theoretical contributions deal with EE and what has been done in practice in some schools in the city of Olinda.
