The focus of FIG Commission 2 is on innovative and effective
professional education and training for surveyors. With clear
linkages to the vision of the FIG Council Work plan through the
commission working groups our activities are underpinned by ensuring
that surveyors work for the good of society and to ensure their
relevance.
FIG Commission 2 in the previous term has started a FIG
publication on the topic: Enhancing Surveying Education through
Blended Learning, which is in almost ready to publish version and
after the final proofreading by the editors the process of
publishing may start.
The commission is focusing on developing academic networks for
knowledge sharing, innovative learning and teaching and learning
styles in surveying education. Our new Working
Group will focus on Education in the domain of Land Administration
and will work jointly with FIG Commission 7 WG 7.7.

General
FIG Commission 2 is the domain of professional surveying
education. The traditional core areas for the commission are: 1)
curriculum and core surveying body of knowledge, 2) teaching and
learning methodology, 3) marketing and management of professional
education and 4) accreditation and quality assurance. During the
2011-2014 term Frank (2008, 2012) and Greenfeld (2010, 2012) centred
on the understanding of the surveying core body of knowledge.
During the 2015 -2018, FIG Commission 2 built on the above work
focusing on the following themes (i) Becoming an active Commission,
(ii) Professional education world-wide, (iii) the chain of
professional surveying education, and (iii) towards educating the
land professional. A key publications from this term were Masum et
al (2017) focusing on Bridging the Gap between Demand for and Supply
of Professional Education, and Groenendijk (2017) reviewing the
VGGTs in the curriculum (next step in this research is to research
the gaps in the implementation and adoption of the VGGTs in the
curriculum).
Innovative learning and teaching has always received major
attention in FIG Commission 2. This is reflected in the work of
Enemark (2004, 2008, 2009; Enemark & Gallant, 2012) promoting
innovative teaching and learning approaches in surveying education,
in particular project- and problem-based learning. E-learning, open
learning and knowledge management achieved major attention by Markus
(2005, 2008, and 2010). The work on e- learning resulted in the most
recent publication by FIG Commission 2: FIG Publication No. 46.
Enhancing Surveying Education through e-Learning. Markus (2010)
mentioned the following two challenges for FIG Commission 2 that are
still highly relevant to consider: ubiquitous learning and open
education.
Developing educational and skills qualifications of surveying
professionals and technicians is one of the other main concerns for
FIG Commission 2. For some countries this is of more concern than
others. In the United States ABET is used to allow standard
recognition of educational surveying qualifications (Frank, 2007,
2009, 2010). In the United Kingdom, RICS has developed educational
criteria that allow universities to assess the suitability of their
curricula to the professional needs (Plimmer, 2003; Frank, 2010).
With the rapidly changing surveying profession it is a continuous
challenge to maintain a system of standardization. The former chair
of FIG Commission 2 has worked intensively on defining educational
surveying qualifications and in relation to the core surveying body
of knowledge and learning and teaching methodologies (Frank, 2012).
For the term 2019 -2022, FIG Commission 2 has continued to build
on the work carried out by the former commission chairs. FIG
Commission 2 term 2019 – 2022 has developed following focus areas
and the new term 2023-2026 intends to continue:
Although the period 2019-2022 was affected by the worldwide
pandemic, the FIG Commission 2 had several activities F2F (in 2019
and 2022), one Annual Meeting outside regular WW (joint with
Commission 7) and online activities, resulting with a very serious
draft of the FIG publication from Commission 2 with highly
appreciated input from active members called: Enhancing Surveying
Education through Blended Learning.
The new term od FIG Commission 2 2023-2026 is continuation of the
previous excellent work of the active chair, WG chairs and other
members of this commission with inheritance that quality and hard
work should continue in the future. The new term is continuing the
previous philosophy of Commission 2 adding to it one more working
group which is described and explained in details in the next
section.
Working Groups
The work of FIG Commission 2 is organized in 4 working groups.
Each of the working groups represents an area of focus in
professional surveying education. During the four-year term of
office workshops at least one Commission 2 workshop will be
organized. Ideally, each planned event will focus on one or more
themes from a working group.

Working Group 2.4 / 7.7 Land Administration Education
Land administration is multi-faceted and encompasses ‘hard’
aspects such as 3D modelling, digital twins, artificial intelligence
and BIM, and ‘softer’ aspects such as land tenure, customary rights,
fit-for-purpose solutions, integrated land use planning, and gender.
Effective land administration is crucial for development and tenure
security, addressing several sustainable development goals. Several
higher education institutions already offer land administration
curricula at undergraduate and/or postgraduate levels, however there
is need for constant revision and update to accommodate new
approaches and opportunities. This combined C2 / C7 working group
seeks to evaluate, support and further develop land administration
teaching essentials.
Objectives
To survey, analyse and document land administration
curricula in use and proposed in different regions.
To partner with GLTN, NELGA and other stakeholders in the
further development of the Teaching Essentials for Responsible
Land Administration (TERLA), including implementation guidelines
and use cases.
To explore context-specific land administration needs and
support universities and other educational organizations to
develop mechanisms and processes that will help to meet those
needs.
Policy Issues
FELA pathway 8: Capacity and Education. The WG will act to
support higher education in developing and implementing curricula
for land administration.

Co-operation with Other Commissions and Task Forces
By its nature FIG Commission 2, Professional Education, has a
relation to all the other technical commissions as is illustrated in
figure 1. However, with some commissions it has a stronger relation
than with others.
Figure 1. The position and function of FIG Commission 2 in
relation to the other Commissions.
Commission 2 works closely together with Commission 1 and in
particular with Working Group
1.1 - Changing Nature of Work and the Role of a Surveyor.
Commission 2 has a close connection to Commission 7 Cadastre and
Land Management. The changing nature of the surveyor or land
professional is best illustrated by the trends and developments in
cadaster and land management.
FIG Commission 2 has a role in supporting the Young Surveyors
Network, some of FIG Task Forces like Africa Task Force and the
OICRF (The International Office for Cadastre and Land Records)
(OICRF).
FIG Task Force on Sustainable Development Goals (TF on SDGs)
Commission 2 focuses on innovative and effective professional
education and training for surveyors. That makes SDG Goal 4 "ensure
inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong
learning opportunities for all" the most relevant to the work of
Commission 2. As we focus on higher education the following targets
are particularly relevant:
Target 4.3: By 2030, ensure equal access for all women and men to
affordable and quality technical, vocational and tertiary education,
including university
Target 4.5: By 2030, eliminate gender disparities in education and
ensure equal access to all levels of education and vocational
training for the vulnerable including persons with disabilities,
indigenous peoples and children in vulnerable situations
Target 4.7: By 2030, ensure that all learners acquire the knowledge
and skills needed to promote sustainable development, including,
among others, through education for sustainable development and
sustainable lifestyles, human rights, gender equality, promotion of
a culture of peace and non-violence, global citizenship and
appreciation of cultural diversity and of culture’s contribution to
sustainable development
How do you include the SDG's in your daily work?
The indicators under Targets 4.3, 4.4 and 4.5 provide some guidance
on how Commission 2 can support meeting the overall Goal 4. Our work
focusses on making higher education more accessible for all
potential surveying students therefore supporting participation and
this is a key focus of Working Group 1 on regional academic
networks. Working Group 2 also seeks to support education for
sustainable development in conjunction with the other commissions.
Indicator 4.3.1: Participation rate of youth and adults in formal
and non-formal education and training in the previous 12 months, by
sex
Indicator 4.5.1: Parity indices (female/male, rural/urban,
bottom/top wealth quintile and others such as disability status,
indigenous peoples and conflict-affected, as data become available)
for all education indicators on this list that can be disaggregated
Indicator 4.7.1: Extent to which (i) global citizenship education
and (ii) education for sustainable development are mainstreamed in
(a) national education policies; (b) curricula; (c) teacher
education; and (d) student assessment. (statement from David
Mitchell previous chair FIG Commission 2)
Co-operation with United Nation
Organisations, Sister Associations and other Partners
UN-GGIM and FIG Comm 2
Co-operation with the Academic Network of UN-GGIM, special with the
Americas is envisaged. The FIG Commission 2 vice-chair is the
academic representative of Americas into the UN-GGIM. Considering as
our commission’s strength our vice-chair will be a bridging person
between these two organisations and identify appropriate channels
for enriching this relation and collaboration.
FAO/FIG Academic forum
The Academic Forum is the platform for FIG Academic Members.
Traditionally Commission 2 has a leading role in the Academic Forum.
During the FIG Congress 2014 in Kuala Lumpur the Forum discussed and
prepared an initial statement on Academic responsibilities and the
Voluntary Guidelines on the Responsible Governance of Tenure (VGGT).
Further Academic Forums were held at subsequent FIG Working Weeks
and the 2018 Istanbul Congress. For its new term, FIG Commission 2
will continue to play an instrumental part in the Academic Forum and
working with the Council to explore partnership with FAO and FIG
Academic Partnership program.
During the 2022 Congress, Commission 2 contributed to one of two
joint FIG/FAO sessions with core emphasis on progress in supporting
the application of the Guidelines, including FAO selected invitees
as presenters of related experiences:
· FAO/FIG Academic
Forum - Progress in supporting the application of the Guidelines,
and opportunities to engage regional, sub-regional, academic and
young surveyors’ networks
