THE ROLE OF UNIVERSITIES IN ACHIEVING SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT OF SOCIETY THROUGH UNIVERSITY YOUTH

Abstract

University education is the basis within which many personal traits of learners grow, and the value of any educational system is determined by its ability to achieve its goals, as education is considered one of the most important components in peoples' lives, as it is through it that human thought, cultural and political awareness, and social role are formed. The criteria for success and failure in any educational system lies in the ability of that system to achieve its goals, or its failure to do so. In view of the exposure of societies - in recent decades to many changes that included various aspects of life, which had a direct impact on what society and its institutions expect from education, it became necessary for this to be accompanied by a change in the objectives, contents and methods of education. And since the educational system is part of the societal system that educates the individual and prepares him for his contemporary and future life, the roles of community institutions overlap with each other, and their roles are complementary in order to provide the individual with knowledge, trends and values to shape the person’s personality and behavior as it is the basis for achieving sustainable development for his society. Modern must be accompanied by human building to meet the challenges of the times.
