Abstract.
This Study investigated the perception of public secondary school principals and teachers on the attainment of Sustainable Development Goal (SDGs) 4 which states; Ensure inclusive and equitable, quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all by 2030. A descriptive survey design was adopted, and the sample size was 872 respondents made up of 45 Principal and 827 teachers using a purposive sampling technique. Three research questions and one null hypothesis guided the study. The instrument for data collection was developed by the researchers and validated by experts, and the corrections and suggestions were used to develop the final questionnaire. The questionnaire was a modified likert scale. Percentage, mean and standard deviation were used to answer the research questions, while the hypothesis was tested at 0.05 significant difference using t-test statistics. The result of the study showed that both Public Secondary School Principals and the Teachers have very poor knowledge and low awareness of the SDGs 4, on education. It was therefore recommended that the Government at all levels and NGO’s should adopt and utilize the result of this study by organizing training and retraining programme, formation of SDGs implementation committee at secondary school level among other things.
