Towards Sustainable Education: The Need for ‘Communiversity’

The technological revolution has many positive effects, including making life easier, connecting people and helping economic development. However, it has also been responsible for social isolation, mental health problems, and increased concerns around privacy and security. Evidently, the digital revolution, despite many changes in people’s lives, is not sustainable and not equitable. To ensure the global digital economy is equitable, it is essential for educational institutions to come up with new rules and regulations, produce upskilled workers, and encourage a balanced approach to life that incorporates both technology and spiritual practices. compassion, love and respect. The emphasis on Sustainable Development Goals is important, but it should be given due emphasis by making education reach the entire community. This necessitates establishing communiversity and is currently being practised at the International Islamic University Malaysia.
