Universities' formal curriculum are getting more complex and course as the world's issues are getting more complicated and interconnected. In response to this demand, some subjects have the purpose of knowledge for the society. In some cases, the subjects are very commercially driven with minimal attention given to the values that need to be inculcated through the subjects. In preparing students to be an agent of change towards a sustainable society reorientation of existing education especially its course content and pedagogy is needed to humanise the curriculum so that it can bring back the original purpose of universities and education itself.
