Attitude is a major determinant of a person’s behaviour which influences the way of a teachers with the education of the students. The present study attempts to find out the attitude of the elementary school teachers towards the children of slum areas. Mixed research method was adopted and purposive sampling technique was employed for the study. The sample of study consisted of 100 teachers from Cuttack Municipal Corporation (CMC) and Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation (BMC). Likert type attitude scale was used for collection of data. The findings of the study reveals that there is no significant difference in attitude towards the children of slum children between male and female teachers. There is no significant difference in attitude towards the children of slum areas with respect to their position, qualification or experience. It is therefore recommended that in-service training should be provided to the teachers and provision should be made for the teachers to attend the workshops and orientation programmes.
