Sejahtera Academic Framework (SAF)

150 149 As a working framework, there are four (4) main components of RCE that contribute to its function as a platform for education for sustainable development namely governance, collaboration, research and development, and transformative education. The details of each components are as follows; 1. Governance - addressing issues of RCE management and leadership to steer the learning ecosystem 2. Collaboration - addressing the engagement of actors from all levels of formal, non-formal and informal education to ensure diverse learning experiences 3. Research and development - addressing the role of research and its inclusion in RCE activities, as well as contributing to the design of strategies for collaborative activities, including those with other RCEs to optimise linkage between different disciplines 4. Transformative education - contributing to the transformation of the current education and training systems to satisfy ambitions of the region regarding sustainable living and livelihood Through these four components, it is hoped that it can create a synergistic co-learning ecosystem that will optimise the learning experiences of not only IIUM students but community members as well. Rather than a total reconstruction, transformative education that is taking place is part of revamping the current curriculum to be more structured in the realisation of sustainable development. In a nutshell, the recognition of RCE Greater Gombak is a platform to synchronise all aspects of curriculum, research and development, and campus operation towards sustainable development, apart from widening the university’s global network in implementation of Education for Sustainable Development. Deeply rooted with tawhid and Raḥmatan lil- ʿ Ā lamīn components, RCE Greater Gombak will continue to ‘Leading the Whole Community Transformation through Spirituality and Sejahtera ’. With the Sejahtera Academic Framework in place and fully implemented, the various manifestations of ESD and Community Engagement in SAF will provide more impactful avenues for IIUM to continue driving the RCE Greater Gombak, truly becoming a model of how an Islamic university may become Raḥmatan lil- ʿ Ā lamīn.
