The importance for Higher Education (HE) to embed the UN's (United Nations) SDG's (Sustainability Development Goals) into the IS (Information Systems) Curriculum

To succeed in today’s dynamic environment, Higher Education (HE) must continue to evolve and adapt at a rapid pace and create resilient graduates empowered with the knowledge, skills and abilities (KSA’s) to believe that they too “can” make a difference. It is timely for the HE sector to embrace and embed the United Nation's (UN’s) Sustainability Development Goals (SDG's) into the Information Systems (IS) curriculum and course offerings with a view to ensuring that graduates are cognisant of both the power of IS and IT and the importance of ensuring the equitable and ethical use of IS and IT. In particular, HE must ensure that we empower our IS Graduates to tackle and challenge complex problems in today's fast-paced digital world whilst at the same time, ensuring a fair and equitable outcome for all. Our ultimate aim as educators is to ensure that our graduates are both industry-ready and cognisant of their social and ethical responsibilities as outlined in the UN’s SDG’s
