This article aims to identify the implementation of Sustainable Development Education in attitude context among Malaysian Teacher Education Institute (IPGM) administrators. The study involved 247 administrators consisting of Directors, Deputy Directors and Department Heads from 26 IPGM throughout Malaysia. The respondent’s selection was based on the purposive random sampling method using the characteristics of the population and the objectives of the study. A Likert scale questionnaire, 1 to 5 was utilised to obtain the data. The subvariables of attitude consist of academic policies, operational policies, planning policies and management policies. Meanwhile the planning variables of education for sustainable development implementation are eight subvariables comprising content standard, process standard, graduation competency standard, educator standard and educational force, infrastructure standard, management standard, financing standard and educational evaluation standard. The findings showed that the level of subvariables of the attitude among IPG’s administrators towards the implementation of education for sustainable development is at a high level as well as the subvariables for the implementation of sustainable development education. Furthermore, IPG administrators' subvariables, academic policies and management policies show a modest positive relationship towards subvariables of education for sustainable development implementation with a overall value of r <0.370. This finding demonstrated that the level of attitude of IPGM administrators overall is at a high level towards the implementation of education for sustainable development. These findings significantly have a positive impact as a result of the sustainable IPG implementation and this programme should be continued in the future.
