Ollscoil Mhá Nuad rangaithe sa chéad áit in Éirinn do Laghdú Neamhionannais ag rangú THE Global Impact 2021
Tá Ollscoil Mhá Nuad tar éis bheith rangaithe mar phríomhollscoil na hÉireann agus sa chéad 5% ar domhan (ag uimhir 32 as 669 institiúid) don taighde atá déanta aici ar neamhionannais shóisialta, dá polasaithe ar leithcheal agus dá tiomantas do bhaill foirne agus mic léinn faoi ghannionadaíocht a earcú (SDG 10 Neamhionannais Laghdaithe)
Tá OMN sa chéad #201-300 ollscoil ar domhan de réir Rangú THE University Impact 2021, a thugann léargas ar thionchar ollscoileanna ar an tsochaí bunaithe ar an rath atá orthu Spriocanna Forbartha Inbhuanaithe na Náisiún Aontaithe, nó SDGs mar a ghlaoitear orthu i mBéarla a bhaint amach. Tá breis agus 1,000 institiúid as 98 tír tar éis páirt a ghlacadh ar domhan.
Ag aithint go bhfuil OMN tiomanta do chomhionannas inscne a chur chun cinn, bhí OMN curtha sa dara háit in Éirinn agus ag uimhir a seasca ar domhan do SDG 5 – Comhionannas Inscne. Is toradh é seo ar ár dtaighde ar staidéar an chomhionannais inscne, ar ár bpolasaithe ar chomhionannas inscne agus ar ár dtiomantas do mhná a earcú agus a chur chun cinn.
Roinneann OMN an chéad áit in Éirinn don Chaighdeán Oideachais (SDG 4) agus tá sí rangaithe #101-200 ar domhan don mhéid atá bainte amach againn le luathfhoghlaim, le foghlaim ar feadh an tsaoil, le taighde oideolaíochta agus lenár dtiomantas don oideachas ionchuimsitheach.
Tá sé mar sprioc ag Spriocanna Forbartha Inbhuanaithe na Náisiún Aontaithe todhchaí níos fearr agus níos inbhuanaithe a bhaint amach faoin mbliain 2030. Tugann na cuspóirí seo aghaidh ar athruithe domhanda lena n-áirítear bochtanas, neamhionannas, aeráid, díghrádú comhshaoil, rathúnas agus síocháin agus ceartas.
Clúdaíonn an Rangú University Impact conas mar a chorpraíonn institiúid gach SDG sa chleachtas inmheánach, sna polasaithe agus sna modhanna oibre atá aici, san fhor-rochtain sa tsochaí a dhéanann sí agus sna gníomhaíochtaí taighde atá ar bun aici.
