Abstract
The article aimed to identify the reality of the education sector in Jordan in light of the sustainable development goals from the point of view of private school teachers in Jordan. The descriptive analytical approach was used. The study sample was selected by the cluster method from the study population, it consisted of (836) male and female teachers from all Jordanian private schools. The results of the study indicated that means of the degree of teachers’ practice of their role in ensuring quality education came to a high level, and the role of the school administration in achieving sustainable learning came to a high level too. The study also revealed many obstacles to the implementation of sustainable development in education in Jordan, including reliance on traditional teaching methods based on indoctrination, and the evaluation of the student based on the theoretical scientific material. The study also revealed that there are statistically significant differences at the level of significance (0.05) in the level of the sample's answers about the reality of the education sector in Jordan in the light of the sustainable development goals due to the difference in academic qualification (Bachelor and graduate studies). However, there are no statistically significant differences in the light of the sustainable development goals due to gender or region. Considering the results reached, the study recommended the formation of a "Sustainable Development" committee within the Jordanian Ministry of Education to follow up on the initiatives and activities related to the goals of sustainable development and to allocate an award for the best school that implements initiatives to achieve the fourth goal of the sustainable development goals of quality education.
