“…On the other hand, some research articles have intensely reviewed the barriers to the renewable energy sector in achieving sustainable goals. Policy making, competence in research articles on various developed and developing countries and socioeconomic status, as well as analytical discussions on barriers have prevailed [35]. For example, the main objective of the research conducted by K. Murugaperumal [36] was to present a technically feasible and economically acceptable hybrid power generation system for off-grid electrification in a rural area of India, the fastest-developing nation.…”

For a developing country such as Bangladesh, renewable energy is immensely important for its entire development and advancement. Bangladesh has taken steps to increase the development capacity in the renewable energy sector and to fulfill the target of achieving one hundred percent electrification. The goal of this study is to determine the present scenario of the capability of the sustainable energy sector, the advancement as well as achievement of adopted plans, obstacles to achieving goals, and to discuss overall issues with necessary suggestions. In this article, according to qualitative research, data have been collected about the steps taken by Bangladesh in the renewable sector, potential achievements, and various progress to achieve the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) in the renewable energy sector. The most important things that have been discussed in this article are what obstacles Bangladesh faces in increasing the capacity of renewable energy and what steps should be taken to overcome those obstacles. To present the obstacles in this article, some important points are discussed including the lack of coordination among the institutions that are responsible for implementing ongoing projects and the lack of adequate maintenance. In addition to increasing public awareness of the mentioned obstacles, valuable advice has also been given in making the loan system accessible to entrepreneurs and customers, increasing the capability of renewable energy, and encouraging conducting research on the overall subject. Nevertheless, for technological advancement in the sustainable energy sector, it has been suggested to reduce imports and to make renewable energy equipment available by increasing the production of the equipment that is necessary. To enrich this renewable energy sector in a sustainable manner, the analysis of the current state of the energy division of Bangladesh, taken steps, obstacles, and given proposals presented in this article will play an important role in the future.

“…But similar to Malaysia, there is a lack of effort and infrastructure present in the secondary level of education. This is because the policies currently implemented cater to the higher education spectrum and less policies are implemented in the secondary education [3], [4], [6]. Thus, this paper aims to highlight the importance of using M-learning to provide quality education for all including students in the remote areas of the country and in turn use M-learning to promote RE education amongst the secondary school students.…”

“…The government issued a new plan of achieving 40% of energy from RE sources by 2041 but doubts have already risen about this if drastic measures are not taken [4], [5]. In both the countries the common factor in not achieving their respected goals was the lack of awareness, availability of knowledge on RE concepts amongst the general public [4], [6]. Education plays a pivotal role in creating and promoting awareness about various concepts that in turn helps drive the society to achieve their goals.…”

Education is a fundamental component in advancing society towards a cleaner and sustainable energy consumption route. To achieve and promote the Sustainable development Goals (SDG’s) education will play a pivotal role in creating awareness and promotion of Renewable energy concepts amongst the general public. Malaysia and Bangladesh are two ambitious countries that has implemented various policies to harness energy from renewable sources but lacked to achieve their targets. This is mainly due to lack of RE education and interest and awareness amongst the public. Recent studies have shown a significant lack of RE curriculum specially in the secondary level of education in most of the developing countries. This lack of curriculum can directly impact the societal process to shift to a sustainable green energy future due to the lack of interest, awareness in students for RE career and importance. This gap of introducing RE education into the secondary education curriculum can be fulfilled by using Mobile Learning (M-Learning) methods and technologies as means to educate secondary schools students about RE. Both the countries have a population well equipped with smart devices and internet access thus equipping people with greater mobility, communication, and access to resources all over the world via the Internet, which can be used potentially to incorporate within the education sector as a mean for teaching and learning. Thus, this paper aims to highlight the educational strategies, theories and components that are associated with mobile learning and propose a mobile learning system that can be used to incorporate RE education in secondary education level in countries like Malaysia and Bangladesh.

“…The lack of awareness and early exposure to RE concepts at the secondary level of education directly influences the level of future competent technical professionals that a nation will produce, as well as how well a nation can develop and build sustainable energy infrastructure to harness their energy needs and achieve their RE targets. Another barrier that is closely linked to the social barrier is the technological one, which causes the shortage of new research and technological advancements and innovations in the RE sector [5,[15][16][17][18].…”

Revisiting Education for Sustainable Development: Methods to Inspire Secondary School Students toward Renewable Energy

Education is key to advancing a society that can achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). One SDG is shifting energy consumption from fossil fuels to renewable energy (RE) sources to reduce environmental damage and prevent global warming. Awareness must be instilled among citizens at an early age (as early as secondary school) to motivate students to pursue higher education and careers in RE concepts and technologies. To analyze the current trends of existing education in RE concepts and education for sustainable development (ESD) in secondary schools, this study employed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analyses method to systematically review 25 articles that were selected from the Web of Science and Scopus databases. The articles highlighted the availability of RE-targeted ESD in secondary schools and their impacts on students and society. However, they revealed a significant lack of curricula on RE concepts and ESD in secondary schools, reflecting the low knowledge, interest in, and awareness of RE and its concepts among students. The articles revealed positive impacts of introducing certain RE-targeted ESD courses/activities on students. Thus, we propose adopting new methods that include collaborative multidisciplinary and informal and non-formal and other factors as a means toward arousing secondary students’ interest in RE education to achieve the SDGs.
