Higher education institutions from all over the world can now organize examination sessions for their students. As of this week, universities and colleges in the USA and Hong Kong have the opportunity to customize the test by inserting questions dealing with local issues for one-third of the assessment. In just a few days, France, Spain, India, Quebec, Brazil and Argentina will follow. By July, 25 countries and regions will be able to offer the same kind of local adaptations.
In each of these 25 countries, major academic associations and networks have prepared questions related to local regulations, laws, culture and practices.
Supported by a number of United Nations institutions and international academic networks, we expect this pilot version of the Sustainability Literacy Test to be used by 100,000 students in the coming months and the first worldwide snapshot of the level of knowledge of higher education students will be presented in November 2014 during the next United Nations conference on Sustainable Development education in Nagoya, Japan.
Certainly a useful tool for any university or college that wants to embrace the sustainable development journey…
