However, among the elements of educational service quality, Academic Service Quality [ASQ] is not studied separately or adequately in academic settings, which could directly influence how teaching and learning unfolds. This study aims to examine students’ perception towards academic service quality in Ethiopian Higher Education system. To serve this purpose, a mixed research method with convergent parallel design is implemented. The study participants are selected via purposive and random sampling techniques. A self-developed questionnaire and interviews are the main tools for gathering data. The questionnaire, consisting 61 items, is distributed to four hundred [400] randomly selected regular undergraduate Graduating Class [GC] students, while semi-structured interviews are conducted with eight key informants. The findings of the study revealed that the majority of the elements that constituted the key attributes of academic service quality are perceived by students to be poor. This is reflected in low mean scores in many variables or items associated with the facets of academic service quality. The findings of this study further uncovered that poor delivery of academic services affect students’ learning outcomes.","PeriodicalId":300044,"journal":{"name":"The Arab Journal For Quality Assurance in Higher Education","volume":"05 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138605590","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The intended sample is from all the targeted universities. After the disclosure on the websites of the rankings institutions, the result shows that one university appeared in the rankings, which is Sultan Qaboos University. However, in the last report of the QS classification it fell from (368) to (384). The study revealed the factors behind the decline of the university as well as the reasons for the failure of other universities to emerge. The most important of which is the modernity of the universities and that all universities are still as a teaching universities, despite the fact that there is interest in scientific research, especially in Sultan Qaboos University, but it still has not reached the rates that contribute to raising global ranking, as well as aspects of funding, especially in private universities.

Education is one of the key pillars of inclusive development in its economic, social and political dimensions which is a key to progress and urbanization for any State in view of its leading role in sustainable development, Since the eighteenth century, economists - Adam Smith, Marx, Marshall and Maltus - have alerted the importance of investing in human capital through education and training But not until the 1950s and 1960s, Several applied studies have confirmed that economic development consists of two main components: The human component, which includes increasing human capacities by raising the level of education and raising the level of health; The material component, which includes increasing economic growth rates, is increasing per capita domestic product, and human capital theory emphasizes the important role that education plays as a key factor in the accumulation of human capital, achieving sustainable development and reducing poverty rates. Based on the importance of the impact of education in general on sustainable development as determined by economic theories and international experiences, this study seeks to analyse the impact of education on human development in Libya. The main problem of this study is to answer the following key question: What is the impact of education on human development in Libya during the period 1990-2019? Theoretically, the study's importance is to illustrate the inability to achieve sustainable development. without human development, education is the main dimension of human development and sustainable development is a necessary requirement for all developed and developing countries, Education is also one of the most important forms of investment in human capital. In addition, the practical importance of this study is to examine the impact of education on Libya's human development. development policies that lead to inclusive development. Drawing on the use of the analytical curriculum to determine the relationship between education and human development at the theoretical level, and analysing this relationship statistically, to test the study's main hypothesis: a statistically significant relationship exists between education and human development in Libya during the study period.","PeriodicalId":300044,"journal":{"name":"The Arab Journal For Quality Assurance in Higher Education","volume":"148 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123201824","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
