Our Sustainability Goals
We at MEGA JATI ACADEMY is fully aware and in line with the UNESCO-UNIVOC’s aspiration towards sustainable goal as part of our commitment and target whilst delivering our corporate obligations as mentioned below:
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were formally accepted by the United Nations in September 2015 as a global framework for achieving an integrated sustainable development model for 2030 among Member States. Several of the SDG targets can be achieved through quality education (SDG 4), gender equality (SDG 5), industry, innovation and infrastructure (SDG 9) and partnerships for the goal (SDG 17)
Technical and vocational education and training (TVET) is critical in addressing knowledge and skills challenges to achieving the SDGs. More importantly, TVET can transmit the right mindset and attitude among trainees and the future workforce through well-designed education and training programs. However, the right policies and skills strategies need to be strengthened to maximize its impact.

OUR APPROACHES
Introduction: Mega Jati Academy is committed to providing high-quality certification programs for construction personnel while incorporating Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles. Our approach aims to not only enhance the skills and knowledge of construction professionals but also contribute to a more sustainable and responsible construction industry.
MAINSTREAMING SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT IN INSTRUCTION
The TVET sector must not only ensure that its curricula and standards are in line with today’s green skills needs, but it must also reflect these changes in the pedagogical strategies used, which must be underpinned by attitudinal changes in learners, trainers and communities.
Traditional instruction methods – such as lecture-driven delivery – are inadequate to equip learners with the required competencies. UNESCO (2006) highlights some of the considerations that should be factored in when developing pedagogical strategies to teach about sustainable development, including:
-
Interdisciplinary and holistic.
Learning for sustainable development should be embedded in the whole curriculum and should be interdisciplinary
-
Critical thinking and problem solving.
Teaching about sustainable development should harness students’ critical thinking and problem-solving skills
-
Values-driven.
Teaching about sustainable development should make clear the shared values and principles underpinning it global issues, and should be taught in the language most common to learners
-
Multi-method.
Pedagogical strategies should try to incorporate multiple methods so as to be able to cater to different learning styles
-
Participatory decision-making.
Learners should actively participate in decisions that affect their education and training
-
Applicability.
Pedagogical strategies should try to offer learning experiences that are applicable to work and life
-
Locally relevant.
Topics should focus on local and global issues, and should be taught in the language most common to learners
