Abstract
This study examines the role of university 0.4—a conceptual framework integrating technology, accessibility, and inclusive policies—in upholding the right to education at Al-Mustaqbal Private University, the research assesses how digital transformation, adaptive learning systems, and institutional policies contribute to equitable access, quality education, and student success. Data was collected via surveys (N=73 faculty), interviews with administrators, and analysis of academic performance metrics. Findings suggest that University 0.4 initiatives, such as virtual classrooms, AI-driven support tools, and financial aid programs, significantly reduce barriers for marginalized groups, including low-income and disabled students. However, challenges like digital literacy gaps and infrastructure limitations persist. The study concludes with recommendations for scaling University 0.4 innovations to align with SDG 4 (Quality Education) and national educational rights frameworks.
Abstract
Achieving sustainable development requires a framework for decision-making, accountability, and management, which good governance provides. According to the World Bank's Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) report, Iraq has a performance gap of 34.1% in achieving the SDGs, which constitutes the applied problem of this study. Therefore, this study seeks to answer the main question: What is the role of good governance in achieving sustainable development through the mediation of Total Quality Management (TQM)? To achieve this, the study was conducted in the Iraqi Ministry of Electricity, and a sample of 100 department and division managers was selected. To collect data from this sample, a questionnaire was designed and distributed to 130 managers, of which 110 were returned, and 100 of these were deemed valid for analysis, representing the final sample size. Furthermore, the study employed quantitative analysis of the performance indicators adopted by the Iraqi Ministry of Electricity. The study utilized a deductive approach and a descriptive-analytical method in presenting and analyzing its data. The data was analyzed using SPSS software. The study concluded that the surveyed sample recognizes the importance of good governance indicators in achieving sustainable development. The analysis revealed that good governance has a significant and statistically significant impact on sustainable development, and that the influence of good governance indicators on sustainable development is growing. The study recommended that the Iraqi Ministry of Electricity adopt good governance indicators as a framework for decision-making, accountability, and efficiency to improve its performance towards achieving sustainable development.
