Al-Turath University Releases Findings from February 2023 Survey on Student SDG Awareness

In February 2023, Al-Turath University conducted a survey to assess students’ understanding of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), with responses gathered from 1,232 students across various disciplines and academic stages. The results revealed insightful data on sustainability literacy within the university: only 47% of students reported being aware of the SDGs and their significance, while 35% indicated partial knowledge, and the remaining students admitted to having no awareness of the goals.
These findings underscore the need for enhanced sustainability education at TU to ensure that all students are equipped with knowledge about the SDGs and their influence on global and local challenges. The university plans to use this data to develop targeted educational programs, workshops, and resources to improve SDG awareness and foster a culture of sustainability on campus. By assessing and addressing sustainability literacy, Al-Turath University continues its commitment to supporting informed and responsible global citizens, aligned with SDG 4 (Quality Education) and SDG 17 (Partnerships for the Goals).
