A critical component of the National Strategy for Education and Training (NStEP) 2022+ is sustainability in action, which is a concept that emphasises the need for practical, measurable and effective steps towards achieving a sustainable future.

It requires an understanding of the interconnectedness between economic, social and environmental aspects of human activity, and the need to balance these elements to contribute to a more sustainable and equitable world.

It emphasises the need for a whole-system approach, outlining the importance of collaboration and innovation between all stakeholders, including lecturers, learners and industry partners.

A critical component of the assessment strategy will be designed to measure the progress of the SDG’s and to identify areas for improvement, this will be brought to fruition through the collaboration of all stakeholders involved. Ultimately, Sustainability in Action’s aim is to inspire and empower learners to become change agents for sustainability that will contribute to a more inclusive and sustainable society.
