INTRODUCTION “Beyond the immediate educational goal is the question of how to provide the ‘best education’ to form the next generation of competent leaders from community to the national and global levels, economic planners, scientists, artists, humanists and more generally informed citizens, especially in this fast paced, technology-prone and globalized world” [1]. The global youth wellbeing index includes 35 indicators stretching over 7 domains which include education, gender equality, safety and security, citizen participation, health, economic opportunity and ICT [2]. The Sustainable Development Goal 4 which is the quality education goal aims to “ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all” and this demands all universities to provide a better education in nurturing balanced graduates [3].
