Abstract

In 2015 the United Nations adopted the Agenda for Sustainable Development, which included Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Sustainable Development Goal 4 addressed quality education to ensure and promote lifelong opportunities for all.

Sustainable development in higher education plays a key role in equipping learners with the requisite knowledge and values to undertake challenges related to social and environmental sustainability. There is, additionally, the expectation that since institutions of higher learning are equipped to develop the intellectual and conceptual framework for achieving goals related to sustainability, they will continue to ably lead the charge in areas such as research, policy development, information exchange, community outreach, and support.

The 28th volume of the UWI Quality Education Forum with the theme “Higher Education and Sustainability” invited academic essays and research reports on aspects of Higher Education and Sustainability which considered areas focused on:

• Achieving Sustainable Writing Assessment in the Context of SDG 4
• Challenges to the Sustainability of the Traditional University
• Sustainable Higher Education Through Generative AI
• Financial Costing as an Approach to Ensuring the Sustainability of Higher Education Institutions
• Early Informal Feedback – A Catalyst for Adaptive Sustainable Teaching Practices
• Characteristic Features of Entry Level Candidates’ Writing in English at an Anglophone Caribbean University
