Abstract

Education is undergoing significant transformation in response to global dynamics. In the face of the complex challenges faced by the world today, sustainable education has become the main focus. Sustainable education aims to shape a generation that is aware of the environmental and social impacts of their every action. This study emphasises the role of education in promoting inclusive, sustainable and solution-oriented development by analysing the current global context. Through a literature analysis approach, it explores the impact of technology, social change and labour market needs on curriculum design and teaching methods. The research findings highlight the need for learning that is flexible and relevant to contemporary needs. In addition, the study outlines the challenges and opportunities that arise in endeavours to support sustainable education, such as technological innovation, cross-sector collaboration and holistic approaches to learning.
