The concept of sustainable development is defined as a form of development that aims to meet the needs of the present without compromising the needs of future generations. The increasing importance of sustainable development is beginning to show itself in the education curriculum. One of the most important goals pointed out by UNESCO, it is important that school administrators, who are the most important actors of education, have educational knowledge, skills and attitudes for sustainable development. In this research, it is aimed to evaluate the opinions of school administrators in vocational high schools on sustainable development goals and to determine the deficiencies in this subject and to contribute in this direction by collecting the necessary data for taking the right steps. Qualitative research methods were applied in the research, and 15 school administrators working in Northern Cyprus vocational high schools participated in the research. The semi-structured interview form prepared by the researcher was used for data collection. The data obtained in the research were analyzed with the content analysis method. As a result of the research, it is seen that school administrators have knowledge about sustainable development. Among the opinions of school administrators who put forward their views on the 17th article of sustainable development, providing equal rights to the society, providing economic contributions, providing access to clean water and energy, recycling, ensuring the sustainability of agricultural development, and cooperation with stakeholders come to the fore.
