To embed the concept of sustainable development in the minds of young people who will be the future generations and to create the best practice and attitude towards environment, education for sustainable development (ESD) was introduced as an approach of teaching and learning in schools. Malaysia has implemented (ESD) and became a member in the Foundation of Environmental Education (FEE) and a member in the Worldwide Fund for Nature (WWF) which is running the eco school program nationally. However, as the uptake of the eco school status and environmental excellence of ‗Green Flag‘ award is very low, this gives the hint of the need for these schools to be aware of success factors which can lead to effective implementation of education for sustainable development. Hence, an exploratory research based on grounded theory approach was conducted.
