  ABSTRACT: Teacher plays an important role in shaping and internalizing students’ cultural values and consequently promotes conservation of cultural heritage, especially through teaching specific areas of social sciences. The article presentsthe empirical research that was conducted among 395 Slovenian primaryschool class teachers. The purpose of the research was to evaluate teachers’ attitudes towards teaching cultural heritage. The results indicate that the surveyed teachers believe it is necessary to promote students’ awareness of cultural heritage, since this encourages students to care for and protect cultural heritage. In addition, the surveyed teachers believe that students’ care for and protection of cultural heritage would increase, if they could create their own mini museum or exhibit historic objects at school. The results also indicate that throughout the school year and when dealing with the contents of cultural heritage, teachers most often focus on knowledge, such as learningabout old objects, monuments, values, beliefs, experience and feeling.
