Abstract

The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, including Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates (UAE), Oman, Kuwait, Qatar, and Bahrain, have significantly progressed in higher education reform programmes. However, challenges remain, such as a lack of uniformity in assessment, different norms for degree recognition, a shortage of regionally relevant research, difficulties in recognizing online programmes, and rising financial costs. These issues may limit the progress of reforms in the region, which is crucial for achieving the SDG 4 targets by 2030. The assessment uses published data and reports from GCC countries and the United Nations Organization to quantify the country’s progress as of 2022. The paper suggests specific actions and initiatives to support progress towards achieving higher education quality SDG 4 by 2030.

海湾合作委员会国家的高等教育质量：2030 年可持续发展目标进展回顾

海湾合作委员会（GCC）国家，包括沙特阿拉伯、阿拉伯联合酋长国（UAE）、阿曼、科威特、卡塔尔和巴林，在高等教育改革计划方面取得了显著进展。然而，挑战依然存在，如评估缺乏统一性、学位认证标准不一、与地区相关的研究短缺、在线课程难以获得认可以及财务成本上升等。这些问题可能会限制该地区改革的进展，而改革对于到 2030 年实现可持续发展目标 4 至关重要。本评估利用海湾合作委员会国家和联合国组织公布的数据和报告，量化了截至 2022 年的国家进展情况。本文件提出了具体的行动和倡议，以支持到 2030 年实现高等教育质量可持续发展目标 4 的进展。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
