TOPIC 10: HIGHER EDUCATION AND SUSTAINABILITY




   Assalamualaikum everyone! I hope you are in pink health. 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 sustainable development changes to education for sustainable development from compliance to commitment, I think we should know the skills and abilities in education for sustainable development by PBL. The skills are asking critical questions, developing systems thinking, envisioning more sustainable futures, critical reasoning and reflection, problem-solving, learning and experiencing real-world scenarios, can build good team working, listening and negotiating. 

Thus, it is how sustainable development changes to education for sustainable development from compliance to commitment. Basically, there are seven things that we should learn to know. Firstly, thresholds of education and sustainability. Secondly, reorienting formal education to address sustainability such as experiential, inter-disciplinary and inter inter-institutional learning, and problem-based learning around real-life issues with community and the natural environment. 

  Thirdly, it approaches for education for sustainable development in higher education. Next, there is a module to integrate sustainability into teaching such as applying problem-based learning and project-based learning in the teaching approach. Besides, there is education for sustainable development in different academic disciplines. Last but not least, there are informal and non-formal education for sustainable development. For instance, educational awareness of the no plastic bag campaign requires action at the individual level. Finally, sustainable development and education for sustainable development stories and varies. Meanwhile, sustainable development is about action.

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
