EDUCATION FOR THE SDGS
The UN’s Sustainable Development Goals are a key focus throughout the three years of the Award. In workshops, students are introduced to the concept and purpose of the SDGs from year 1. They research and analyses issues related to a number of the SDGs and are asked to work collaboratively to consider possible solutions on local and global scales. In years 2 and 3, the following SDGs underpin the curriculum: good health and well-being; gender equality; decent work and economic growth; industry, innovation and infrastructure; reduced inequalities; and climate action. Through synchronous and asynchronous teaching methods, students are regularly asked to consider these issues and their impacts, how they as individuals can contribute to positive solutions, and how they might make an impact in their areas of work, post-graduation. Students are also required to devote a number of hours to the GPA Electives, through which students undertake experiential learning opportunities (such as volunteering, work-integrated learning opportunities and placements) to apply their knowledge gained through the Award and to demonstrate their capacity to be truly global citizens.
At the Tashkent University of Information Technologies named after Muhammad al-Khwarizmi, there are subjects related to the goals of sustainable development for students, which are mainly taught in 3 courses. Such subjects include such subjects as "Ecology", "Safety of life activities", and "Alternative energy sources". Also, the graduates of the University devote part of their research work to the fields of environmental impact and concealment of human life activity, which is one of the goals of sustainable development.
TUIT actively engages in community outreach through educational events, aligning with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). TUIT frequently collaborates with non-governmental organizations to hold seminars and conferences, including a recent online lecture titled "Photochromic Materials and Their Practical Application," conducted by professors from the Department of Energy Supply Systems. These initiatives aim to extend knowledge and resources to alumni, local residents, and broader communities (https://t.me/tuituz_official/22504).
The university assesses students’ sustainability literacy by evaluating their graduation qualification work. This process allows the university to measure students’ understanding and application of sustainability concepts within their field of study. By integrating sustainability-related criteria into these final assessments, the university ensures that graduates have acquired the knowledge and skills necessary to address environmental, social, and economic challenges effectively. This approach highlights the university’s commitment to fostering a culture of sustainability among its students.
