Abstract

This paper aims at discussing the role of Al-Quds Open University

in promoting sustainable development in Palestine by means of using the

content analysis methodology. To achieve this objective, the researcher

analyzed the content of the published materials on the academic portal of

Al-Quds Open University between 2009-2012 under the following sections:

latest news and activities, announcements, pioneering stories and reports,

and the latest achievements and outcomes. Later, the researcher sought to

discuss the relationship between these activities and contributions on one

side and the university objectives on the other side in order to investigate

their expected relationship with the basics of sustainable development. To

achieve this objective, the researcher started this paper by defining and

discussing some related terms and concepts including the definition of open

education, human development and sustainable development. Furthermore,

the researcher talked about the historical background of Al-Quds Open

University and its early emergence as a living model of the open education

and a good representative of the Palestinian higher education and its

educational philosophy
