Awareness of Sustainable Development Goals: Perception of Head Teachers of Secondary School

Abstract

The member states of the United Nations agreed on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in 2015. These goals were established to address issues such as poverty, hunger, health, education, gender equality, clean water, sanitation, clean energy, economic development, infrastructure, inequalities, sustainability, responsible production, climate change mitigation, and the preservation of life on land. The agreement was reached unanimously by the member states of the United Nations. By the year 2030, the mission is to make it possible for every person on the planet to live in peace and prosperity. Regarding the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the awareness of head teachers in secondary schools was investigated in a study. According to the findings, a sizeable percentage of secondary school head teachers know the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), however there was no discernible variation in levels of awareness based on geography, gender, or district. According to the study's findings, head teachers should consider participating in community engagement activities centered on Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), such as awareness campaigns, workshops, and events involving the participation of local NGOs and the government.
