Education for Sustainable Development

The Story

My name is Jane Gew Lai Ti, a senior lecture in a private university and I will be featured as a guest teacher on the free online learning platform - SOLS 24/7 Education.

I have been volunteering actively for various non-profit organizations for the last couple of years and volunteering work has helped me to expand my perspective and views of life, especially giving a healthy boost to my life satisfaction. I’ve met many wonderful and awesome “heroes” in volunteering and the whole process of volunteering works has helped me to better manage my time and better interact with people around me, be it my subordinates as well as my colleagues and superiors. It also goes without saying that volunteering also allows me to connect to my community and environment and play my small part to make it a better place.

Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG 4) aims to ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all. In order to improve the quality of life, the access to inclusive and equitable quality education can help equip locals with the tools required to provide innovative solutions to the world’s greatest problems. The integration of Sustainable Development in education showing its importance to engage our students in achieving SDGs. Thus, the implement sustainability-centered education programs for the betterment of the students so that these students are equipped with the desired skillsets which will benefit the employers to seek positive returns in terms of profitability, resulting in overall economy growth. The area that I aim to improve in order to better achieving some targets in SDG4, in particularly, Target 4.4 Increase the number of people with relevant skills for financial success (employability skills), and Target 4.7 Education for sustainable development and global citizenship.
