This study addresses the role of technology in modern education and its impact on achieving sustainable development. The research aims to explore how technology is used in education and its effects on environmental sustainability and natural resources. A field study was conducted in several schools to assess the opinions of teachers and students regarding the use of technology in the educational process. A sample of 100 teachers and students from various schools was selected, and a questionnaire was used as the primary data collection tool. The results showed that technology significantly contributes to improving the quality of education and developing students' life and environmental skills. However, some challenges were identified, such as the digital divide and the lack of technological infrastructure in some areas, which affect the implementation of sustainable education. The study recommends improving technological infrastructure and providing continuous teacher training, as well as suggesting further integration of technology into curricula to fully benefit from the capabilities that technology offers to achieve sustainable development goals in education.
