To investigate the impact of green education on developing multiple literacies among students.To understand the relationship between green education and global readiness in students.To identify best practices for integrating green education into the curriculum for the 21st century.In a rapidly globalizing world, the demands on education for multi-literacy competence are greater than ever. Recently, green education has been theorized to be an appropriate way of cultivating these literacies in students so that students are prepared better for living and working globally as we approach the 21st century. Specifically, the goals of this research are to better comprehend how green education contributes to the cultivation of multiple literacies (cultural, ecological and critical); how green education relates to global readiness; and best practices for incorporating environmental educational content across a K-6th-grade university laboratory school curriculum. The context illuminates that sustainability and environmental awareness are growing trends within education, influenced by wider societal aspirations for sustainable development. The recommendations drawn from the study emphasize that programs should develop green educators, not only to promote environmental awareness among students, but also critical thinking and creativity as well as prepare global citizens. It is based on a qualitative research methodology with 12 participants selected from the field of green education and curriculum development using purposive method. In-depth interviews and document analysis techniques are used to gather high quality data against the research objectives. The study adds to the literature by giving empirical data about multiple literacies affected, thus promoting green education capacity building activities for preparation learners in global society. This is where a core area of intersection lies between environmentalism and education, understanding that we need to bring the environment into our educational frameworks in order to produce responsible environmentally literate global citizens.
