Abstract
The research study was carried out to explore secondary schools head teachers’ awareness of
Sustainable Development (SD) and Education for Sustainable Development (ESD). Within the
qualitative paradigm, a case study approach was employed to develop a deeper understanding of the
case by gathering detailed responses from participants employing criterion-purposive sampling
technique. The data were collected through interviews and focus group discussion with four
purposefully selected head teachers who extended their willingness to participate in the study.
Member checking was undertaken in order to validate accuracy and credibility of the data and
findings of the study. The findings revealed that the head teachers demonstrated awareness of SD in
terms of environmental sustainability, resource preservation, inter-generational equity and
attainment of desirable future. The participants described ESD as education model for developing
students’ knowledge and preparing them for participation in local and global activities carried out for
SD.
