Abstract

Education is the most effective mechanism for dealing with one of the biggest
challenges  of  this  century,  i.e.,  sustainable  development.  Sustainable
development  needs  a  holistic  human  being  with  systemic  thinking  and
interdisciplinary  and  intra-disciplinary  vision  who  is  informed,  creative  and
participatory.  Production of such qualified human  resources needs high quality
elements  and  factors  of  the  educational  system  (input,  process,  output,  and
outcome)  in  line  with  sustainable  development.  Higher  education  and  expert
human  resources  play  a  key  role  in  sustainable  development  of  any  societies.
Universities,  as  places  for  study  and  research,  should  strive  for  sustainable
development.  Higher  education  should  acquire  the  best  way  to  exploit  limited
resources  and  facilities.  In  this  article,  developing  a  model  for  assuring  the
quality  of  higher  education  system  in  order  to  reach  sustainable  development
based on systems approach is discussed. To reach sustainable development, we
should provide coordination and interaction among the parts of development. A
descriptive-analytic method, similar to library studies, is used in this article.
