Abstract
Abstract
This article is an attempt to facilitate the implementation of sustainable development goals (SDGs) by encouraging adjustments in international university ranking systems as influential players in the field of higher education. To this end, the current shortcomings of global ranking systems are delineated and suggestions are provided to help with the revision of current rankings and adaptation of a new approach without encouraging further proliferation of ranking systems. The new approach is suggested to promote educational quality but also equity, equality, diversity, and sustainability in line with the aims and aspirations of the Agenda 2030 for sustainable development.
