Achieving sustainable development increasingly depends on how education systems integrate digital technologies in ethically responsible and pedagogically meaningful ways. This is especially so in the current AI age. While technology-enhanced learning offers significant opportunities for expanding access, collaboration, and innovation, its uncritical adoption risks reinforcing distorted values. This paper provides a conceptual and analytical examination of the ethical foundations of sustainability in technologyenhanced education, with particular emphasis on digital citizenship and the leadership role of educational administrators. Drawing on sustainability theory, moral philosophy, and contemporary scholarship on the place and use of AI as digital literacy, the study interrogates how values, attitudes, and human behavior shape the outcomes of educational technology use. The analysis underscores the need for leadership-driven policies and pedagogies that balance technological innovation with moral accountability and cultural sensitivity. The paper concludes that such strengthens learners' capacity for long-term sustainability, positioning education as a catalyst for social transformation.
