摘要

This paper examines the integration of STREAM (Science, Technology, Reading, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) education with the principles of sustainability. It highlights two core dimensions: the role of STREAM in fostering essential competencies for sustainability among learners and educators, and its alignment with global development frameworks such as the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Drawing from educational practices in Bahrain, it demonstrates how STREAM cultivates critical thinking, innovation, and adaptability, transforming classrooms into inclusive, forward-thinking learning environments. The paper refutes the notion that STREAM is limited to high-resource settings, offering practical examples of its implementation through flexible, affordable, and contextually meaningful approaches. Ultimately, it positions STREAM as a catalyst for building lifelong learning ecosystems capable of preparing communities to navigate and influence complex global issues.
