University responsibility and sustainable development: Promoting inclusive and quality education

Abstract

Introduction. Social responsibility and sustainable development are elements that promote proactive organizational management; for example, in the educational system, in this context, the university has a great challenge, which is to assume the training of competent and apt individuals to face the future, which is characterized by being unpredictable and increasingly complex. The objective is to understand and reflect on university social responsibility and sustainable development as drivers and promoters of inclusive and quality university education. The qualitative paradigm was proposed as a method. It is cross-sectional, where documentary observation and hermeneutics allow us to conclude that clearly defined elements drive universities to generate an inclusive and high-quality education that, although they have joined forces to reach this maximum, there is still a long way to go. University institutions are recommended to redefine priority lines of research adjusted to the immediate social realities.
