A Study of Some Global Sustainable Development Issues in Social Studies Curriculum for the Fourth Grade of Primary School according to Egypt Vision 2030

The current research aims to study the content of the social studies course book that was developed according to the Egypt Vision 2030 for the fourth grade of primary school and the extent to which sustainable development issues were included in the curriculum. A content analysis of the course book and an achievement test were conducted on 1000 pupils in schools in Port Said, Egypt. The results of the research showed that issues of sustainable development in the developed social studies curriculum were 34.8% although the curriculum explained the global issues of sustainable development except for the elimination of global famines. Additionally, the results of the achievement test medium for pupils are considered a medium for most issues, so it could be concluded that it is necessary to increase the time of social studies classes in schools and add ways of eliminating global famine issues to the curriculum.
