Abstract
Bangladesh's development paradigm would change visibly once the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are implemented by 2030. Quality tertiary education can act as a catalyst for the country's economic and social development, enabling it to realize its full potential. By 2030, the entire national system will have undergone gradual modification to accommodate the “Development Junction.” Therefore, the main goal of this research is to identify the institutional and procedural barriers to ensuring quality tertiary education to fulfil the Sustainable Development Goals. Multiple primary data gathering techniques have been used in this study's mixed (qualitative and quantitative) approach. Again, in this study, both thematic and descriptive analyses were used. Finally, based on the findings, several recommendations have been put together for policy formation to ensure quality tertiary education in order to meet the Sustainable Development Goals.
