UPH Academic Community’s Sustainability Literacy

Universitas Pelita Harapan (UPH) continuously monitors and evaluates the sustainability literacy and awareness of its students as part of its institutional commitment to education for sustainable development. Each year, UPH conducts a comprehensive survey designed to assess students’ understanding of sustainability concepts and their familiarity with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The results of this annual survey serve as an internal benchmark to gauge progress and identify areas for improvement in embedding sustainability values within academic and extracurricular contexts.

Rather than conducting standalone SDG socialisation programmes, UPH ensures that sustainability principles are integrated across the curriculum and reinforced through various academic activities and campus events. Many student-led organisations, such as Service Learning Community (SLC) UPH, explicitly align their work programmes with specific SDGs, thus demonstrating practical engagement and student-driven application of sustainable development principles. Through these combined academic, co-curricular, and evaluative efforts, UPH effectively tracks and strengthens sustainability literacy across its student body while cultivating a culture of responsibility, innovation, and community impact.

Below is the data collected by the student survey regarding their knowledge of the SDGs.

From the set of questions, this is the percentage of students answering correctly per indicator. Disclaimer: we did not input the entirety of the SDGs, as the survey accounts for general knowledge of the SDGs.
