So, in this blog, I want to focus on how sustainable development changes to education for sustainable development from compliance to commitment. Before that, I want to highlight the meaning of education for sustainable development first. Basically, it is embedding sustainability in the curriculum that encourages and supports, design and planning, monitoring and reflection.     There are many basic ways of thinking about education for sustainable development. It actually empowers our knowledge, values, behaviours, skills and so on. It is also integrated development of the environment, economy and society. Among them are: learning for intellectual understanding, learning for World Heritage and Cultural Resources, learning on energy, learning on disaster, environmental learning, biodiversity, climate change and other related learnings.    Before we know how sustai

 NO MATRIC: 2217952 TOPIC 9: WHAT IS EDUCATION FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT?    Assalamualaikum everyone! We'll meet again. So, my topic today is "What is education for sustainable development? Based on what I learned, there are three concepts about education for sustainable development. The first concept is a broader concept than environmental education. The second concept is not sustainable development education but education for sustainable development. The last concept is education to enable all people to better contribute to the sustainable development of their own and other societies.     In addition, I also learn the definition of education for sustainable development.

Before this, my previous blog is about the roles and responsibilities of higher education, right? In this blog, I want to focus on the sustainable development in universities. We learn that sustainable development has many advantages to every aspect of this world, including education. Did you guys ever think that why sustainable development is essential to universities?    Before that, let's learn the benefits of sustainable development. Firstly, it demonstrates the university's impact. Next, it captures the demand for SDG-related education. Besides, it also builds new external and internal partnerships.

NO MATRIC: 2217952 TOPIC 7: ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF HIGHER EDUCATION  AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT        Assalamualaikum everyone! Welcome back to my blog. Now, we are going to the next topic related to education. The topic is current issues of higher education and sustainability. We know higher education has many roles and responsibilities for all students. If we look at IIUM itself, we can see there are many questions that we want to ask as a student here. Basically. the first thing that we always talk about IIUM education system. Is there anything wrong or what is wrong with the IIUM education system now? The education system is the main thing in higher education. If it has many problems, and no one can handle it effectively, it will ruin anything.  The second question is do we teach what society needs or what industry needs? In my personal opinion, higher education should provide the relevant subject at every cost. Every subject must have its objectives that can make students

NO MATRIC: 2217952 TOPIC 6: SPIRITUALLY A MISSING COMPONENT IN SDG       Assalamualaikum everyone! How are you? Hope you are doing well and enjoy reading this. Today, I want to highlight spirituality in Sustainable Development Goals? Do you think that spirituality is also an important thing in SDG? I think this component is very important to us, especially for all Muslims in this world.  In Islam, Spirituality (Al-Ruhiyyah) refers to an unconditional belief in the unity and sovereignty of Allah (SWT).  We can see someone who has the character of these with Islamic Spirituality: all good deeds and economically. Meanwhile, ethically or environmentally for gaining the pleasure of Allah a spiritual person as the Khalifah of Allah (The Vicegerent) of Allah (SWT) is assigned the duty to develop life on earth according to the divine guidance.  What I learned about this topic is a person of spirituality is required to approach natural resources with humility and to work together with fellow hu

 NO MATRIC: 2217952 TOPIC 5: ISLAM AND SUSTAINABILITY     Assalamualaikum everyone! In this topic, I want to write about Islam and Sustainable Development. I was so excited about this topic because it shows sustainable development from an Islamic Perspective. I think as Muslims, we should take note of these issues and also make sure it is not far from the guidelines that Islam teaches us.     So, the first dimension is People. We are determined to end poverty and hunger, in all their forms and dimensions and to ensure that all human beings can fulfil their potential in dignity and equality and in a healthy environment. The second dimension is Planet. We are determined to protect the planet from degradation, including through sustainable consumption and production and other else to support the needs of the present and future generations. The third dimension is Prosperity. We are determined to ensure that all human beings can enjoy prosperous and fulfilling lives and that economic, socia

NO MATRIC: 2217952 TOPIC 4: MAQASID AL-SHARIAH AND  SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS       Assalamualaikum everyone! I will share about Maqasid Al-Shariah and Sustainable Development Goals in this part. Maqasid Al-Shariah realizes human well-being by enhancing the welfare, or benefit of the people on the one hand and preventing haram on the other. It means Maqasid Al-Shariah is a good system in Islam because it gives many benefits and advantages for all people and also ensures that everyone is not doing something that can destroy them. In Arabic, we call it "Mafsadah." Mafsadah is damaging something so that it will give a bad impact on others if this thing was ignored.     The main objective of Shariah is to promote and protect the well-being of people and nature, which lies in the safeguarding of five fundamental objectives of Shariah: Hifz Al-Din (religion), Hifz Al-Nafs (life), Hifz Al-'Aql (intellect), Hifz Al-Nasb (lineage) and Hifz Al-Mal (wealth).  The satisfaction of

NO MATRIC: 2217952 TOPIC 3: WHY SDG IS IMPORTANT TO THE COMMUNITY?       There are many reasons why Sustainable Development Goal is vital to the community. One of the reasons is to avoid food waste in our daily lives. The issue of food waste in my neighbourhood is very close to us. Based on the data, Malaysians produce 15000 tonnes of food waste daily. They were spending about RM900 a month on food and throwing away RM 225 of food a month. They can spend their money buying more than seven 10kg bags of rice, more than 132 litres of RON9 5 petrol and more than Unifi 30Mbps plan RM199/mth.     According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), about one-third of the food produced for human consumption is lost or wasted annually, which amounts to 1.3 billion tonnes. It significantly impacts greenhouse gas emissions, natural resources, food security, and livelihoods. In this article, you will learn how food waste management research and data can support the UN Sustainable Development
