Type: article

Abstract: The articles in this theme issue collectively emphasize the intersection of education, sustainability, and community engagement. They underline the importance of innovative teaching practices, emotional intelligence, and sustainable facility design in achieving broader societal goals. Promoting SDGs at schools represents a complex yet rewarding endeavor. While significant achievements in quality education, gender equity, and early childhood development are evident, challenges such as resource inequalities, digital divides, and cultural barriers persist. Educators and policymakers can advance the dual goals of sustainability and social equity by integrating innovative practices, fostering emotional intelligence, addressing systemic issues, and strengthening community ties.
