Week 6: Roles of Universities & Sustainable Development

     
This week, we learned about education in IIUM and Malaysia in general. Prof Suhaimi asked us to answer 5 questions about education. The first question is “Is there anything wrong with the university’s education system now?” Some students said that the curriculum in Malaysia is not advanced and needs to be improved for a better future like the US education. The answer to the second question “Do you receive education that is needed by society's needs or what industry needs?” is society needs as some students said that IIUM education is more to teach their students to give benefits to the society. Apart from that, Prof Suhaimi also told us that we need to be balanced people depending on the situation. For instance, the wife needs to sacrifice her job to take care of their sick children in the hospital. Next, for the fourth question regarding the education that we are receiving in IIUM now, some students said that Celpad subjects are not necessary for the students as it will only waste their study time as well as their money for the fees. Lastly, the role of Islam in the universities lies in the student's practice of Islamic practices such as time management as Islam teaches us to manage our time wisely so that we can live our life to the fullest and achieve success. 




Additionally, after we finished discussing all the questions, we continued to learn about other aspects of education like education philosophy and 21st-century education, which is associated with our physical, spiritual, intellectual, and emotional to achieve “Sejahtera” in the country’s education. Moreover, we also learned about Pasca covid-19 which involved the 4H (Humanity, Heart, High Touch, and Humility). We need to have a good heart and always think positively about others. Besides, for the High Touch, we must take care of our own selves and cannot rely on the government for our lives to improve our socialization.


In a nutshell, this week's lesson opened our eyes and minds to the idea of education in IIUM and Malaysia to achieve sustainability in university education.

    Totally agree with that, as certain educational systems are too rigid and not adaptable to societal changes and give us no room for creative solving

    In my opinion, Celpad classes could be necessary in some cases to teach the students more sophisticated academic writing style.

Week 8: Roles of Institutions For Sustainable Development (SDG 16 & 17)

Image
       For this week's topic, we explored the roles of institutions for sustainable development in SDG 16 (Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions) and SDG 17 (Partnerships for the Goals). These two goals show that we need strong cooperation with each other to create a fair system and a better world.      Firstly, SDG 16 made me realize that peace is not just about not having wars, instead, it is about making sure humans feel safe, and have access to justice and fair law in the society. Institutions like the police, the courts, and schools play significant roles in protecting public safety in this country. If these institutions are corrupt, it is hard for people to trust them and give their cooperation. That is why having a trustworthy and strong institution is vital.       Apart from that, we also learned that SDG 17, focuses on working together as one. We cannot achieve the SDGs alone without any partnerships. We need global organ...

Week 10: Measurement, Indices and Indicators for Sustainable Development and SDG

Image
         For this week, we learned the topic of Measurement, Indices, and Indicators for Sustainable Development and SDG. The index is the instrument or mechanism used to measure any achievement in the world of academics and research. There are already a lot of indexes that have been developed to measure all sectors and aspects of life. One of them is the Malaysian Shariah Index, which refers to determining the status of the government in carrying out the administrations of the nations based on the Maqasid Shariah so that it adheres to Islamic standards. It also helps to provide future improvement that needs to be covered for the Islamic values to be truly practiced and applied in our country.  Next, we also dived into the sustainability indicators which are usually understood as a quantitative tool that analyses changes, while measuring and communicating progress toward the use of sustainability and management of economic, institutional, social as well a...

Week 9: Field Works - On Campus Observation

Image
       In week 9, we learned about the topic of Field Works on Campus Observation- IIUM as a sustainable campus. In IIUM, several initiatives have been implemented to achieve sustainable development goals. One of them is IIUM Mahabbah Food Bank organised by the Minister of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs. This food bank helps to combat hunger among the students which is aligned with SDG 2 (Zero Hunger). Besides, in CFS IIUM, they had established the CFS Sejahtera Room providing free clothes and food for students in need. This initiative made by the IIUM campus aligned with the sustainable development goals to achieve a sustainable society among students. Cat shelters also had been built around the campus to ensure the sustainability of the cat population as IIUM is full of cats and they are being taken care of nicely by certain societies and clubs. This shows how IIUM provides basic needs not only for their students but for all including animals.   ...
