Abstract: This paper attempts to discuss sustainability of Bangladeshi higher education. There are many ways for universities to be involved in maintaining sustainability and ensure sustainable development through education. Approaches can vary from functioning simply in a social, economic and environmental friendly way to focus on the quest for sustainability. Undoubtedly, Bangladesh is a developing country having lack of standard sustainable higher education due to which, students who graduated from different universities and colleges, failed to play effective role in their professional life. It is recognised and recommended by the experts that both the content and form of education must be changed so that sustainable development through education may become the only alternative for future generations. However, the researchers tried to explore the role, coverage, ways, importance, present status and other relevant issues in higher education of Bangladesh.
