TASK™ alignment with the framework of the French Ministry of Higher Education and Research
In a world facing urgent environmental challenges, equipping individuals with knowledge and skills for sustainability is more critical than ever. Governments around the world are increasingly calling for higher education to lead this transition, updating what they teach and how they teach, in order to develop such sustainability awareness.
In particular, the French Ministry of Higher Education and Research (MESR) has set ambitious objectives. As universities start to change curriculum in response, we mapped how our tool TASK™ aligns with the MESR framework, supporting French universities to meet these national educational standards.
What is TASK™?
TASK™ is a standardized assessment designed to measure sustainability knowledge reliably and comparatively. Built on a scientifically validated framework, TASK™ serves as:
- A tool for students to demonstrate their understanding of sustainability and enhance their credentials.
- A resource for universities to assess knowledge levels, guide educational strategies, and showcase measurable impact.
With a mix of theoretical and practical dimensions, TASK™ provides a holistic approach to sustainability education, making it a flexible and valuable resource for educators.
Aligning with the French Ministry’s sustainability goals
The MESR has set ambitious targets for integrating sustainability into higher education, focusing on equipping all undergraduates, irrespective of their specific disciplines, with essential knowledge about the “ecological transition”.
TASK™ supports this mission by aligning with the ministry's foundational priorities, including:
- Climate change.
- Biodiversity and its preservation.
- Resource availability and management.
- The pursuit of a just and equitable transition.

Why this alignment matters
The synergy between TASK™ and the MESR framework strengthens the value of sustainability education for students and institutions alike. By aligning with government recommendations:
- Students gain a competitive edge. TASK™ offers a recognized certification that highlights their mastery of sustainability issues, making them more attractive to employers in a job market increasingly valuing ecological expertise.
- Institutions enhance their impact. Universities can leverage TASK™ to measure and improve sustainability education outcomes while meeting national educational priorities.
This alignment bridges local and global educational standards, reinforcing TASK™ as a versatile tool adaptable to diverse academic and professional contexts.
