  • Abstract:
  • The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), established by the United Nations, outline a framework for achieving a sustainable and equitable future, with SDG 4 focusing specifically on ensuring inclusive and quality education. This paper conducts an empirical investigation into how educational institutions integrate SDGs, particularly SDG 4, into their curricula and operational practices. The study surveys educators' and administrators' perceptions of SDG incorporation within educational management and curriculum frameworks. This research identifies key drivers and obstacles and highlights six critical factors influencing SDG implementation: curriculum integration, institutional leadership, resource allocation, stakeholder involvement, awareness and training, and policy backing. These themes were derived from various literature reviews during the process. The responses were collected from 120 participants across diverse institutions, offering a comprehensive view of the challenges and enablers these entities face in adopting SDGs. The findings underscore both the opportunities for progress and the barriers that hinder the widespread adoption of sustainable practices. Through its analysis, the study offers actionable recommendations for policymakers and educators to improve the implementation of SDGs in educational settings. The paper also stresses the importance of enhanced policy frameworks to support sustainability efforts and proposes strategies for scaling up institutional contributions toward achieving the 2030 targets. These insights are intended to guide further improvements in SDG-driven educational reforms.
