Participated in educational programmed organized by student association

 

   

The Sustainable Development Goals, or SDGs, serve as a road map for all of us to achieve a better and more sustainable future. It is a proposal supported by all United Nations member nations, and it has pushed the deadline out to 2015. The United Nations, or U.N., is an intergovernmental organization whose mission is to maintain international safety, peace, and security, to foster healthy and friendly relationships between people from different countries, to serve as a focal point for harmonizing national actions, and to achieve international cooperation. Since I have studied in this course, I have acknowledged that our quality of education nowadays especially in Malaysia dropped dramatically due to the pandemic Covid-19 plus most people in our country do not bear in mind about their role on how to create sustainable development in our life. Speaking for myself, the best way for students to have a higher level of quality in education is by joining the educational program from outside and applying in daily life.

  During last semester, I participated in an educational programmed organized by the student association in my previous University. It was my first time to join this program because before this I was not taking this issue as a serious issue to highlight on. After that, when I learned about this kind of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) , I realized that we cannot 100% depend on the government to increase quality education. All the community has to contribute without having any perspective linked with gender issues. The objectives of the program are to spread awareness for the young generation about the importance of education in our life. This program provided a lot of activities such as ice breaking, motivation talk by a professional speaker and some sport activities.

     In this program we faced a problem due to lack of funds to provide educational tools and foods to give to participants. But it does not end here, we are trying to find a solution by soliciting donations from other Non-Government Organizations (NGO) to raise our funds. Things went smoothly as the Non-Government Organizations (NGO) agreed to cooperate with us. As we planned, the program ran great when we got an amazing response from students who mentioned that they enjoyed being in this program because there’s no limitation in order to join the program and everyone is free to speak up any idea without any gap between opposite gender. Indirectly, we can gain new experience and add our knowledge by joining this program.

   In conclusion, through this program, we gained a variety of knowledge and I realized that  in terms of fulfilling the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), it started from our dearest self to keep our new generation in a good quality of education comparable to global standards by also emphasizing gender equality without missing the importance of good health and our well-being related to a few Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This program taught me to be more sensitive about the problem faced by our society especially in educational field as Nelson Mandela once said “education is the greatest weapon that we can use  in changing the world”.
