Higher education institutions play a vital role in the development of a country by providing quality education. Their main task is to ensure the quality and relevance of education and to build capacity by producing qualified professionals.

By doing this, they have a great opportunity to play an irreplaceable role in rapidly transforming the agricultural-led economy, by focusing on the development of the science and technology sector, by conducting research that is of national and local importance, and by working with the community to solve key problems.

In general, higher education institutions should properly fulfill their mission of quality and relevance-based teaching, research, and community service.
