Sustainability Literacy and Awareness Assessment – Ibn Tofail University
Ibn Tofail University has established a Sustainability Literacy and Awareness Assessment to systematically measure students’ sustainability literacy, while also making the assessment available to academic and administrative staff. The tool evaluates sustainability knowledge, attitudes, behaviours and engagement, positioning sustainability literacy as a measurable and evolving institutional competency.
The assessment is designed to capture not only what participants know about sustainability, but also how they behave and how they perceive sustainability within their daily academic and professional environments. By examining knowledge, attitudes, behaviours and engagement together, the University moves beyond general awareness toward a more comprehensive understanding of how sustainability is understood and applied across its community.
What the Assessment Measures
Structured around 30 questions, the assessment provides a balanced measurement of sustainability literacy. It explores understanding of environmental and sustainability challenges, examines everyday practices such as resource use and waste management, and assesses willingness to participate in sustainability initiatives.
This structure enables the University to identify strengths as well as gaps in sustainability knowledge, attitudes and behaviour.
Measuring Sustainability Literacy
The assessment is deployed through the University’s digital platforms and is accessible to students across different academic backgrounds and study levels, as well as to staff. The results are systematically analysed to measure current sustainability literacy levels and to identify recurring knowledge, attitude and behaviour gaps within the University community.
From Measurement to Action
The assessment results are used to inform institutional decision-making. Findings help Ibn Tofail University refine sustainability training programmes, improve awareness activities and adapt educational content in response to identified gaps.
How the Results Are Used
A Data-Driven Approach to Sustainability Education
By embedding sustainability literacy assessment into its institutional practices, Ibn Tofail University adopts a data-driven approach to sustainability education, where measurement leads to targeted action.
