NCUE actively integrates sustainable development concepts through its curriculum to ensure that all faculty and students understand the 17 important goals of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Furthermore, as the second-largest teacher training university in Taiwan, NCUE has cultivated hundreds of secondary school teachers every year. Through providing sustainable development literacy curriculum knowledge, the university aims to nurture forward-thinking educators who can transmit correct concepts to the next generation of national leaders in their future teaching endeavors. This demonstrates NCUE's tremendous influence on the overall Taiwanese society through its promotion of sustainability education.

NCUE faculty members incorporate SDGs into course planning and mark this in the course registration system. Various types of courses such as human rights education, career education, indigenous education, gender equality education, environmental education, energy education, multicultural education, marine education, legal education, international education, etc., are all closely related to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. 17 SDGs are categorized into seven major groups, and the correlation between NCUE's courses and SDGs in Academic Year 2023 is shown in the following table. Since some courses simultaneously involve different category concepts, statistics show that a total of 2,091 courses incorporate relevant goal concepts. If each individual course is counted only once, NCUE offered 806 courses containing at least one UN Sustainable Development Goal-related element in that academic year, totaling 1,947 credits, with a combined enrollment of 23,951 student registrations.
