Abstract
The United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a comprehensive framework of 17 interconnected goals that serve as a blueprint for achieving a more sustainable future for all (United Nations, 2015). These goals, unanimously adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015, address the multifaceted challenges we face globally, including those related to poverty, inequality, climate change, environmental degradation, peace, and justice. Among these goals, SDG 3 and SDG 4, which focus on Good Health and Well-being and Quality Education respectively, have a profound impact on the realm of higher education. Higher education institutions (HEIs), with their dual mandate of knowledge creation and dissemination, are uniquely positioned to contribute to the achievement of these goals (McCowan, 2016).
