Here, we offer conceptual methodological framework assessments SDG (input‐level) that addresses both quality depth implementation speed change. The approach combines document analysis with external expert evaluation applied 10‐year data (>11,000 documents) from all formal areas education Germany (early childhood education, school vocational training, higher education). Currently, mostly implemented an “add‐on” educational system, sub‐indicators ranging “isolated mentioning” related concepts “partial integration”. Across most sub‐indicator was evaluated deficient.

There is an increasing interest and effort in reorienting university curricula to address sustainability preparing teachers get involved embedding the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) teaching enabled by Information Communication Technologies (ICTs). Evidence shows that this often prevented various barriers at three levels: teacher- level barriers, school-level system-level barriers. In study, attempt was geared towards identifying constituencies of these levels examining extent which they predict teachers’ motivation embed SDGs school subject areas, including arts-based education. A survey 1253 Malaysia revealed explain 83% variance. By identifying, addressing, investigating higher education institutions—and especially teacher education—could be better informed ICT-enabled Education for Sustainability (ICTeEfS).
