SUSTAINABILITY LITERACY WITH SULITEST

JGU measures the sustainability literacy of its students and staff with the Assessment of Sustainability Knowledge (TASK) from Sulitest. JGU was the first university in Asia to offer TASK, through a three-year pioneer partnership with the Jindal School of Environment & Sustainability.

What TASK Measures
TASK draws on three frameworks: the UN SDGs, the planetary boundaries framework and Doughnut Economics. It covers three themes: Earth Systems, Human Welfare and Levers of Opportunity. It assesses four types of knowledge: descriptive, contextualised, causal and integrated. The result shows whether a person knows the facts and also whether they can connect them and see where change is possible.

Who Takes It
The assessment is open to students and staff. It began with JSES students and has since been extended to administrative staff.

What the Results Show
The number of test-takers grew from 52 to 69 in a year. The share scoring above the global average rose from under half to more than three-quarters, and the number with high sustainability knowledge rose from 3 to 25. Sulitest compares each institution’s results with its global data, so JGU can see how its students and staff perform worldwide.

Next Steps
JGU plans to offer TASK to more students outside JSES and to more staff, and to use the results to strengthen sustainability teaching and training.
