Résumé : This research focuses on practices, representations and the need for training in epidemic prevention education among primary school teachers. Indeed, the aim is first to identify the representations and practices of teachers regarding their role in the field of epidemic prevention education, and well as training needs. The methodology is based on a survey of a sample of teachers belonging to different regions of Tunisia, i.e. 389 Tunisian primary school teachers. The results show that the majority of teachers have an overall representation of preventive education (63% of the 389 participants) but very few teachers have a representation of preventive education for epidemics. Also a high number of teachers declare that they have never attended specific training on epidemic prevention. These research results show the great need to generalize the practices of epidemic prevention education in Tunisian schools. It must develop training in epidemic prevention education for primary school teachers.
