Higher education, in any country, represents the cornerstone of the development process and one of the main indicators of the progress of peoples and the construction of humanity. The need for higher education has increased and interest in its development has increased, due to this. its importance in meeting the requirements of development and serving its goals, as higher education institutions and centers of specialized studies and research have become. Science is a hotbed of cultural and scientific decision-making, a source of developing strategic directions and an incubator for producing qualified minds to advance the cultural construction and national economy of the country. Universities play an important role in leading teaching, learning, research and technology. Universities provide educational paths and professional training for high-level jobs, as well as training focused on personal development. The role of universities is very important for all sectors, from a social and legal point of view, in our time. Graduates from all disciplines also need to learn more about sustainability. Universities can help them acquire the new knowledge and skills needed to address society’s sustainability challenges, as well as raise public awareness and provide advanced measures for informed decision-making, responsible behavior, and consumer choices.
In recognition of the importance of higher education and its important role in countries around the world, the United Nations declared in 2002 that the period 2005-2014 is the Decade of Education for Sustainable Development. The aim of the movement was to integrate. the principles and practices of sustainable development into all aspects of teaching and learning. Today, higher education institutions continue to play an important role in promoting sustainable development, and universities play several roles within society through which they can contribute to sustainable development. events. Important pioneering research is often conducted within higher education institutions, helping to generate innovation and knowledge. Likewise, universities have a responsibility to train decision-makers who shape the future. Universities play a key role in providing society with responsible citizens, ensuring high standards of teaching, research and learning. UNESCO stated that universities have three important objectives, namely (teaching, research and community service), and therefore
Universities are key institutions in the processes of social change and development. The most important role assigned to them is to produce a skilled workforce and disseminate research results to achieve desired goals. Another role that universities can play is to build new institutions of civil society, develop new cultural values, and train and socialize people, taking into account the support of social protection. Rapid improvement in the well-being of the population requires rationalization of all the resources available to the nation. Universities are among these most important resources, because national development is the result of two simultaneous processes (growth and change), and both can be decisively influenced by science and technology in all their forms. This requires that a university play a leading role in development efforts and place the needs of the development process at the heart of its educational activities.
When people talk about quality education, they often mean the kind of education that equips students with the knowledge and skills they need in the job market. But some argue that a good education has broader benefits, developing individuals in ways that contribute to the development of society as a whole. University education must do more than produce a graduate who can find a job. Higher education must also provide students with opportunities, choices, and a voice in job safety, job satisfaction, security, advancement, and dignity. It should prepare them to participate in the economy and society as a whole.
The best example that can be deduced of the importance of higher education in the revival of nations is to examine the experience of the countries called the “Asian Tigers”, which are the East Asian countries (Taiwan, Singapore, Hong Kong and South Korea), which were able to achieve significant and rapid economic growth rates between the 1960s and 1990s, thanks to the development in the field of education and higher education. Therefore, teaching is considered a very respectable task. The teacher has every right to engage in the training courses he needs to develop his abilities and increase his gift rate, and this is an additional burden placed on his shoulders. From the experience of Singapore, which was one of the countries that was backward in its education system during the Second World War until the mid-1970s, the country's leaders decided to reform the educational process through an integrated program that included all educational aspects. , including programs – developing teachers' skills – rehabilitating buildings – educating parents. This strategy is called collective payment, and all this evidence confirms that the university professor represents the forefront of the learning process. So I believe that this is the trend of the state. meeting the demands of professors in Sudan, which was reflected in the implementation of part of the salary structure proposal for teaching staff members approved in a previous period, represents a positive step. I hope that the efforts will be extended in terms of salaries. of assistant managers and technicians, who represent one of the most important pillars, and I also hope that this will continue by amending the law on university professors' pensions up to full disability, as well as radically addressing the conditions of scholarship professors, and then. allocating a large budget to advance scientific research in universities. Faculty members can contribute to its implementation through the preparation of solid scientific studies, brainstorming sessions and workshops, among others, in light of the current situation in the country. find sources to finance this increase in the structure so that it does not lead to an increase in monetary inflation rates. Finally, university administrations and faculty members must dedicate themselves and diligently to preparing programs that will meet the accumulated number of students for more than three years. At a certain level, these proposed treatments do not affect the deterioration of the quality rates of educational results…
