The practical implementation of a positive learning environment in school education needs detailed research. Its effects can be achieved by creating appropriate learning environments and technological support to provide a high-quality education for students. Schools must be purposefully designed to inspire creativity, independence, and a love for learning to provide students with an exceptional education. Great school environments must be prepared to support students' intellectual, physical, social, and emotional development. Schools must also continually improve their campuses in response to students' needs. In terms of positive environment theory, a positive environment can contribute to students' successful academic adjustment. The student's academic success is a result of academic adjustment accordingly and can be assessed through intellectual engagement and self-managed learning. This research aims to establish regularity, promote the implementation of a positive learning environment in school education by surveying schools, establish the ability of educational institutions to provide a positive learning environment in school education, and determine the attitude of students and schoolmasters towards a positive learning environment.
