Education is one of the most vital human rights and is included in the list of fundamental rights set out in the country's highest law. However, not just any form of education has been elevated to constitutional status, but education with a view to promoting citizenship, the full development of human beings and their potential, in other words, we are talking about sustainable education. Despite being one of the most prestigious rights and despite the express normative commands regarding the power/duty of the state and society as a whole to promote it, its lack of implementation at all levels of education in Brazil, and therefore in the state of Amazonas, is blatant, leading us to a set of reflections that go beyond the scope of the legal sphere and highlight larger debates (cultural, political, social, etc.) and how these values influence the implementation or not of this fundamental right, the basis for building a sustainable society. With this in mind, the general aim of this work is to analyse the importance of sustainable education as an essential path for the development of the state of Amazonas.
