Unplanned actions of man have to be checked to protect and prevent further damage to the environment. It can be inculcated by using science and technology education in school levels for sustainable development. Science education should be recognized as an essential component of school education in achieving effective sustainable development. While teaching about the sustainable development at school to help the children to identify the causative agent of environmental degradation and the teacher should act as a facilitator. For the need of sustainable development biotechnology science must be recognized as an essential component for school education.
