Higher education is beginning to include sustainable development concepts in their activities. Efforts in education for sustainable development are important to improve sustainability for Malaysian Public Higher Institutions. Therefore, it is important for every institution to identify the critical success factor for sustainable development as well as the benefit ad the challenges for higher education for sustainable development. This study aims to identify those elements and develop a measurement model of higher education for sustainable development for Malaysian Public Higher Institutions. To obtain the findings, a qualitative method will be used in this study. This study expected to provide better understanding and new insights for sustainable development in order to improve sustainability for Malaysian Public Higher Institutions
