Understanding these implications is crucial for educators and policymakers striving to cultivate a dynamic and inclusive learning environment that empowers learners to thrive in an ever-evolving world. In conclusion, the integration of 21st-century pedagogies holds immense promise for advancing sustainable education and will benefit learners to meet up with in an ever-changing world. It was recommended that if the 21st-century pedagogies were leveraged, it would create a dynamic, inclusive, and sustainable learning environment that would empower learners to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally in an ever-changing world.
