The Role of University 4.0 in Ensuring the Right to Education: A Field Study at Al-Mustaqbal Private University

Abstract

This study examines the role of university 0.4—a conceptual framework integrating technology, accessibility, and inclusive policies—in upholding the right to education at Al-Mustaqbal Private University, the research assesses how digital transformation, adaptive learning systems, and institutional policies contribute to equitable access, quality education, and student success. Data was collected via surveys (N=73 faculty), interviews with administrators, and analysis of academic performance metrics. Findings suggest that University 0.4 initiatives, such as virtual classrooms, AI-driven support tools, and financial aid programs, significantly reduce barriers for marginalized groups, including low-income and disabled students. However, challenges like digital literacy gaps and infrastructure limitations persist. The study concludes with recommendations for scaling University 0.4 innovations to align with SDG 4 (Quality Education) and national educational rights frameworks.
