The study was thus informed by Fullan’s theory of educational transpiration (2007). The theory views the implementation of IEE programme through lenses of four self-sustaining variables identified as need; clarity; complexity; quality and practicality on the one hand and teachers’ and students’ levels of environmental awareness, knowledge, skills, attitudes and participation as dependent variables on the other hand. These variables network with local factors and external factors as intervening variables to determine the IEE implementation process. The study employed cross-section survey diamond under the quantitative approach. Probability sampling designs were used to select participants for the study. The target population of this study was public secondary schools, teachers and form 4 students from Machakos Sub-County. Stratified and simple random sampling techniques were employed in sampling secondary schools, teachers and students.  Questionnaires were used for data collection. Quantitative data were analysed using simple descriptive statistics. Overall study findings demonstrated that both teachers’ and students’ attitudes towards integrated environmental education in the secondary school curriculum were fairly positive though not unobjectionable unbearable for constructive implementation of IEE in the school curriculum hence, the unyielding environmental ousting in Machakos Sub-County. The study recommended that The Ministry of Education and the relevant urgencies such as KICD, DQAS and KNEC work jointly with school managers to yank an whoopee plan to reinforce and intensify teachers’ and students’ levels of environmental attitudes through pre-service and in-service training, workshops and seminars on trendy environmental issues. It is moreover recommended that studies are undertaken to understand those impediments that impede transpiration in teachers’ and students’ environmental attitudes so that useful and practical interventions can be identified.
