Abstract

The paper presented here is part of an interdisciplinary project called "Educational Management," the purpose of which is to analyze the management and accountability policies applied in Public Institutions of Higher Education (IHE). Education for Sustainable Development has a privileged place since the approval of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the 2030 Agenda of the United Nations (UN), as it is listed as one of the goals pursued by these objectives. The approach to sustainable education was established at the World Conference on Education for All (EFA), held in Jomtien, Thailand, in 1990 and continued at the World Education Forum in 2000. The 4th Sustainable Development Goal seeks to promote learning opportunities and ensure inclusive, equitable and quality education. This goal is a commitment to educational innovation and university social responsibility as it is a protagonist in the formation of students and the creation of learning spaces. Likewise, IHEs must generate a culture and expansion of knowledge, scientific-technological innovation and be a model for society. Furthermore, they must contribute to the Agenda for Sustainable Development, the final document of which, entitled “Transforming Our World: The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development,” promotes the end of poverty, fights against inequality and injustice, and addresses climate change so that no one is left behind by 2030.
