This study aims to identify those elements and develop a measurement model of higher education for sustainable development for Malaysian Public Higher Institutions. To obtain the findings, a qualitative method will be used in this study. This study expected to provide better understanding and new insights for sustainable development in order to improve sustainability for Malaysian Public Higher Institutions.
