“…Faize and Akhtar [25] also said that the students in the environmental study program are more connected to nature, and they are more sensitive to understand the environmental problem which enable them to deliver their knowledge than those who less get environmental education. Elmassah et al [40] also confirmed that different colleges or departments in universities significantly influence the content of curriculum and student's activities that later influence their competency and knowledge on environmental issues. This finding also in line with the previous studies that revealed that the environmental knowledge of students majored in environmental science is higher than the environmental knowledge of students majored in social science [27,41].…”

“…For example, universities need to develop a culture of sustainability that suffuses departments and degree programs, especially for students who are nearing entry to the job market (Albareda-Tiana et al, 2018). Similarly, Elmassah et al (2020) suggested that HEIs establish standards for propagating SD values in the curricula of different majors, providing new SD-based courses (both singular and integrated), and forming a specialized ESD faculty community that can share experiences and best practices. Other conceptual studies falling in the macro category deal with student competencies, inclusive teaching practices, professors' abilities and ethics, and alliances among universities and organizations that are crucial for integrating SDGs into teaching programs (del Olmo Fernández et al, 2020;.…”

“…The urgent need to respond to the challenges posed by the achievement of the SDGs raises the question: Are SDG4.7 and SDG5 being successfully implemented in HE formal education? After some years of research, it has been found that SD policy has been widely researched but limited attention has been paid to educational practices and outcomes (Aleixo et al , 2020; Aru et al , 2017; Elmassah et al , 2020; Leal Filho et al , 2019; Vaughter et al , 2016), particularly in regard to SDG5 where there has been least debate compared to other sustainability goals (Bourn et al , 2017). Therefore, taking into account that there is no systemic approach to teaching sustainability and that there is pressure to equip students with sustainability skills, this study aimed to conduct a self-assessment process to learn what are students learning about SDG5 and what level of perceived gender competence will they have acquired when they graduate.…”
