Our students have rated JSBE's sustainability efforts highly – feedback supports the ongoing development of education
The Positive Impact Rating (PIR) is an annual feedback survey aimed at our students on the themes of sustainability and responsibility. JSBE participated in the Positive Impact Rating for the sixth time this year. Our students rated our responsibility as strong as last year, giving us a rating of 4 out of 5.
On average, our PIR scores have risen slightly in several areas, bringing us closer to – or even slightly above – the global averages. Our students gave the highest ratings to the strong role of sustainability in JSBE’s vision and strategy, as well as to our genuine commitment to advancing sustainability transformation.
Students also pointed out that sustainability should be woven into all teaching and learning activities, instead of being taught in separate courses.
The results of the Positive Impact Rating are reviewed annually, and the feedback received influences the measures taken to develop our education each year. Furthermore, the results of the PIR survey are being used in the curriculum reform process.
Dean Vilma Luoma-aho highly values the feedback received from our own students.
“Students are a critically important group for us, and their experiences are crucial when developing all aspects of the faculty’s activities,” says Luoma-aho.
What is the PIR assessment all about?
In the PIR evaluation, students assess the effectiveness of their higher education institution from various perspectives, such as education and engagement. Through their rating, students give their recommendations to other students interested in sustainability.
As in previous years, the assessment of JSBE was carried out by our students’ subject association Pörssi ry.
“It is valuable to continue this development work together with Pörssi, as there is still work to be done,” says Luoma-aho.
A record number of over 19,000 students worldwide took part in the Positive Impact Rating survey this year. They represented 87 business schools from 32 different countries.
