- W4382564170 abstract "Agenda 2030 and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations were established in order to create a more sustainable future for everyone and to address the numerous global issues the world is presently facing. Whilst higher education has historically placed more emphasis on general education and research, the diversity of its role and function has increasingly come to the fore, including service to society and the global economy. The intrinsic potential and accountability of Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in the global SDG movement must be acknowledged, as well as their impact on the SDGs. This paper explores the implementation of SDG 4 (Quality Education) within Higher Education, using Université des Mascareignes (UdM), a young public HEI in Mauritius, with a long-standing North–South partnership, as a case study. A qualitative approach was used, with semi-structured interviews held with Top Management and staff of the University. A thematic analysis of the data was carried out to identify the strategies used for accomplishing SDG 4 in multiple functional areas within the institution. Research demonstrates that, despite being a young institution with a relatively small number of students, UdM is actively addressing SDG 4, with the North–South collaboration aiding in its implementation. The advantages of the collaboration's mutually beneficial aspects, as well as its limitations are outlined. Analysis shows that SDG 4 is addressed at UdM through the following initiatives: engagement with the community, improving access for people with special needs, improved gender representation across Faculties, offering part-time and short courses to widen student access, flexible payment arrangements for those in need, customized learning arrangements for national athletes, international scholarships for excelling students, and systematic set-up of suitable policies, procedures and guidelines in different areas. Quality Education is also ensured by addressing key components such as provision of more balanced student life, ensuring a safe and healthy environment for all, through continuous student feedback mechanisms, regional and international mobility for staff and students, systematic addressing of regulatory requirements and standards, implementation of several research projects in different areas, introduction of a sustainability module across all undergraduate programs, set up of a cross-functional Quality department and additional resources for facilitating technology-enabled teaching and learning. Different means are used to train learners in sustainable development, entrepreneurship skills and employment after their studies. This paper represents a contribution to SDG research from the developing world in Sub-Saharan Africa, an often under-represented area. It explores the impact of a long-standing North–South collaborative partnership with a young institution in Mauritius, and outlines its contribution to the sustainability agenda, thus providing insights into the multiple means by which SDG 4 can be addressed by HEIs." @default.
