| Abstract | The role of school social work’s advocacy is increasingly essential in addressing the complex challenges associated with sustainable development, social justice, and environmental resilience within educational contexts. This paper, using systematic literature review, explores how school social work can strategically advocate for policies and practices that support the achievement of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly in areas such as reducing student poverty, combating health inequalities, addressing gender disparities, and ensuring equitable access to quality education. The paper highlights school social workers influence on policy changes at various levels, aiming to reduce disparities, protect vulnerable populations, and promote equitable access to quality education. Their advocacy aims to address issues such as poverty, health inequalities, gender disparities, and educational inequities, aligning with the Sustainable Development Goals’ focus on reducing inequalities and promoting inclusive development. The paper concludes that strengthening the advocacy role of school social workers is vital for fostering social equity, resilience, and inclusivity in education worldwide. As key agents of transformative change, their advocacy efforts help create equitable, sustainable, and supportive learning environments that contribute significantly to achieving the global sustainability and equity goals. |
