This educational study addresses sustainability as a national priority. It focuses on secondary students as future decision makers through developing their ability to respond effectively to national sustainability issues by engaging in dilemma-based science and values learning. Socially responsible science education promotes knowledge and scientific literacy skills. Benefits to the community include application of research results to schools, education systems, and universities whose long-term ability to conduct world-class scientific research will partly be dependent on improvements in school science. Since priority research funding promotes science and sustainability research, science education in schools should progress commensurately.

这项教育研究将可持续性作为国家优先事项。它的重点是中学生作为未来的决策者，通过发展他们的能力，有效地应对国家的可持续性问题，从事困境为基础的科学和价值观的学习。对社会负责的科学教育促进知识和科学素养技能。对社区的好处包括将研究成果应用于学校、教育系统和大学，这些学校、教育系统和大学进行世界级科学研究的长期能力将部分取决于学校科学的改进。由于优先研究基金促进了科学和可持续发展研究，学校的科学教育应该同步发展。
