Description

Achieving sustainable development goals (SDGs) requires the cooperation of every single person in the world, and the understanding of SDGs is a common ground that should be shared worldwide. In Japan, comprehensive learning and inquiry learning on the theme of SDGs are flourishing in primary and secondary education, and companies and local governments are also making efforts to address SDGs to lead to business and regional revitalization. However, although universities are actively contributing to SDGs through research, there are few initiatives in education. Therefore, we examined the ideal form of higher education to develop human resources who can contribute to the achievement of the SDGs. First, we extracted the required competencies from the definitions of SDGs and examined how these competencies could be incorporated into higher education from entrance examinations to adult education. In order to realize these efforts, it is necessary to utilize information and communication technology and raise the awareness of the faculty and students.
