The purpose of this case study is to focus on the role of higher education in the realisation of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4, discussing both challenges and opportunities. Drawing on the example of The University of the West Indies (UWI) School of Education (SOE) (Mona Campus in Jamaica), this paper illustrates how higher education can move SDG 4 forward in a realistic and significant way.,Drawing on the literature and case study experiences implementing education for sustainable development-related activities within a SOE, opportunities and challenges regarding SDG 4 and higher education institutions (HEIs) are identified and outlined. The SOE at the UWI campus is used as an illustrative case study to highlight the ways in which HEIs can drive SDG 4 through teaching, programme and course development, research and outreach activities.,Based on the literature examined, along with the case study, the paper argues that HEIs must help to shape and lead the SDG 4 agenda by being integrally involved and no longer watching from the side lines. A framework to aid HEIs in achieving outcomes associated with SDG 4 is then proffered. The intent is that this will not only help shape discourse but also shape actions, as the demand for higher education increases across the globe.,This paper uses a Caribbean regional HEI as the basis for the framework proposed to aid HEIs in achieving SDG 4 outcomes. This brings to the fore discourse from the global south, as space that is often missing from the discussion.

高等教育中的可持续发展目标4：挑战与机遇

本案例研究的目的是着重于高等教育在实现可持续发展目标（SDG）4中的作用，同时讨论挑战和机遇。本文以西印度大学（UWI）教育学院（SOE）（牙买加莫纳校园）为例，阐述了高等教育如何以现实而有意义的方式推动SDG 4的发展。以及在国有企业中实施与可持续发展相关的活动的教育的案例研究经验，确定并概述了有关SDG 4和高等教育机构（HEI）的机遇与挑战。UWI校园内的SOE用作说明性案例研究，以突出HEI通过教学，计划和课程开发，研究和外展活动来推动SDG 4的方式。根据所研究的文献以及案例研究，论文认为，高校必须通过整体参与而不是从旁观者的角度来帮助制定和领导SDG 4议程。然后提出了一个帮助HEI实现与SDG 4相关的结果的框架。目的是，随着全球对高等教育的需求增加，这将不仅有助于塑造话语，而且也可以塑造行动。本文以加勒比海地区的HEI为基础，提出了旨在帮助HEI实现SDG 4成果的框架。由于讨论中经常缺少空间，因此这引起了来自全球南方的讨论。该论文认为，高校必须通过整体参与而不是从旁观者的角度来帮助制定和领导SDG 4议程。然后提出了一个帮助HEI实现与SDG 4相关的结果的框架。目的是，随着全球对高等教育的需求增加，这将不仅有助于塑造话语，而且也可以塑造行动。本文以加勒比海地区的HEI为基础，提出了旨在帮助HEI实现SDG 4成果的框架。由于讨论中经常缺少空间，因此这引起了来自全球南方的讨论。该论文认为，高校必须通过整体参与而不是从旁观者的角度来帮助制定和领导SDG 4议程。然后提出了一个帮助HEI实现与SDG 4相关的结果的框架。目的是，随着全球对高等教育的需求增加，这将不仅有助于塑造话语，而且也可以塑造行动。本文以加勒比海地区的HEI为基础，提出了旨在帮助HEI实现SDG 4成果的框架。由于讨论中经常缺少空间，因此这引起了来自全球南方的讨论。本文使用加勒比地区的HEI作为提议的框架的基础，该框架旨在帮助HEI实现SDG 4成果。由于讨论中经常缺少空间，因此这引起了来自全球南方的讨论。本文使用加勒比地区的HEI作为提议的框架的基础，该框架旨在帮助HEI实现SDG 4成果。由于讨论中经常缺少空间，因此这引起了来自全球南方的讨论。
