SDG 1.4.3 Programmes for services access

People are at the core of sustainable development. NCUE is duty-bound to create a fair, just, and inclusive future. Promoting continuous improvement to ensure that everyone has access to basic services is therefore of utmost importance. To eradicate poverty, NCUE organizes various training programs and projects to enhance access to basic services for students and related stakeholders.

To practice local care through high-quality education and reduce inequality, NCUE seeks to improve everyone's access to basic services by implementing various projects (including National Science and Technology Council projects, Ministry of Education projects, University Social Responsibility (USR) Projects, and University Social Responsibility (USR) Hub Projects), offering language promotion courses, organizing service-oriented student associations to provide outreach in remote rural areas, and holding public seminars and community education activities. The following sections present the achievements of relevant plans/policies on education, service, electricity, and health promotion:

Service Extracurricular Activities Team, Office of Student Affairs Service Clubs - Mountain Service Club, Rural Service Club, Fishing Village Service Club, Board Game Club (Figures 11-12) Service-oriented student clubs organize learning activities during the semester, such as event planning, drama techniques, group activities, and outdoor games. During winter and summer vacation, they visit remote rural schools to provide recreational camps for local elementary school students. For example, the Mathematics Youth Service Corps organized a summer camp centered on "Contextual Logical Thinking" and "Practical Mathematics in Daily Life," incorporating popular anime scenarios into everyday themes such as financial management, media literacy, and logical reasoning, guiding children to develop correct discernment and thinking skills through contextual exploration. Additionally, to enhance children's learning motivation and curiosity, the team ingeniously transformed coordinate geometry, ratio calculations, and statistical charts into fun station-based challenges, Monopoly-style games, and large-scale evening events, allowing children to naturally overcome their aversion to mathematics through learning by playing, while cultivating teamwork and a spirit of independent exploration. In 2025, NCUE organized a total of 6 service activities, with 111 volunteer participants and a total of 510 people served.
