Abstract

The implementation of smart green schools in Enugu State presents both perceived future challenges and opportunities in the realm of education and sustainability. Challenges include initial infrastructure costs, technological integration hurdles, and the need for extensive teacher training to adapt to new educational paradigms. Additionally, ensuring equitable access to these facilities across urban and rural areas poses a logistical challenge. However, the prospects are promising. Smart green schools offer an opportunity to revolutionize education by incorporating technology for interactive learning experiences, enhancing students’ digital literacy skills. These schools also prioritize environmental sustainability through energy -efficient, infrastructure, waste reduction measures, and eco-friendly curriculum integration, fostering a culture of environmental steward among students. Furthermore, the implementation of smart green schools aligns with global trends towards sustainable development, positioning Enugu State as a leader in environmentally conscious education. It has the potential to attract funding and partnerships from government and non-governmental organizations dedicated to sustainability initiatives. The adoption of smart green schools in Enugu State presents its share of perceived challenges; the potential benefits far outweigh them. With proper planning, investment, and commitment from stakeholders, these schools can serve as models of innovative, sustainable education contributing to the holistic development of students and the advancement of Enugu State’s educational landscape.
