Evaluating Educational Strategies Focused on Achieving Sustainable Development Goals in Diverse Global Contexts

Abstract

This paper examines educational strategies focused on achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) across diverse global contexts. Education plays a pivotal role in promoting sustainable development, yet its alignment with SDGs remains a complex challenge due to varying cultural, economic, and institutional contexts. This study explores different educational approaches, including curriculum integration, experiential learning, teacher training, and the use of technology, to advance sustainability. Through case studies from both developed and developing countries, as well as marginalized communities, the paper evaluates the effectiveness of these strategies and the barriers faced in their implementation. It also discusses the importance of measuring the impact of educational initiatives on SDG progress, using key performance indicators and impact assessment tools. The findings highlight the need for tailored educational models that account for regional differences, as well as the critical role of policy, governance, and strategic partnerships in overcoming challenges. The paper concludes with actionable recommendations to enhance the integration of sustainability into education systems worldwide, ensuring a long-term impact on achieving SDGs for future generations.
