Due to the active participants and constructionist tenets involved, they have been established; applying agile techniques to the leadership of programs in multiple sectors might be a useful instrument to impart such skills. As a result, the study has started including some examples of applying agile techniques in learning, which gave rise to the term Agile Education (AE). This study conducts a systematic review to examine how this cutting-edge educational instrument has been applied to education to promote important sustainable development features. Results for 10 of the 121 studies reviewed that show a distinct connection among the essential ESD capabilities and AE are provided. It has been demonstrated that AE enhances the accomplishments, contentment and engagement of both instructors and students while fostering an environment for learning that promotes the growth of morally and environmentally conscious people.
