Abstract	Rapid developmental reforms have significantly contributed to reducing poverty, hunger, and inequality, thereby improving living standards and quality of life. However, these advancements have also increased pressure on the natural environment, leading to concerns such as global warming, pollution, and depletion of resources. These challenges threaten both present and future generations, emphasizing the need for immediate action. In response, environmental education has been integrated across educational levels to promote responsible citizenship. Sustainable development can be achieved only through a balance between economic growth and environmental preservation. Young learners, particularly at the secondary level, play a crucial role in influencing long-term environmental outcomes. Despite increased awareness, the actual practice of environmentally responsible behaviour among students remains limited, highlighting the need for focused educational interventions. In this context, the development of environmentally sustainable green skills encompassing knowledge, attitudes, and behavioural competencies has emerged as a crucial step towards fostering environmental responsibility. Secondary education, as a formative phase, plays a significant role in shaping these competencies. The present study examines the existing level of green skills practices among secondary school students using a structured questionnaire covering key domains of sustainability. The findings reveal score ranges between 1.32 and 2.97, indicating an unsatisfactory level of practice. The results underscore the need for urgent and effective interventions, particularly through curriculum reforms and pedagogical strategies at the school level. Such initiatives may gain greater significance in the context of the transformative changes envisioned under the implementation of the National Education Policy 2020.
