Abstract

The research aims to rebalance the role of education as a path to achieving sustainable development goals, and to develop educational, training and rehabilitation policies to enhance the capabilities of teachers and students using the environmental quadrant analysis in terms of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats in agricultural technical schools in preparation for improving the learning process according to the requirements of sustainable development. The results showed that the total weighted weights of the internal factors amounted to about (2.963), indicating a balance between the influential factors, as strengths are more prominent than weaknesses, but there is still a need to improve some basic aspects such as infrastructure and the use of technology. The total weighted weights of the external factors amounted to about (2.919), indicating that the available opportunities clearly outweigh the threats. However, the challenges related to security tensions, funding and lack of community awareness remain threats that require specific strategies to confront them. The research recommends updating educational curricula according to modern technology and the requirements of the era according to sustainable development indicators.
