The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development approved in New York in September 2015 represents a great achievement as an international agreement that focuses on people, the planet, prosperity, peace and alliances. There are 17 objectives broken down into 169 goals whose achievement requires not only the action of States, but also the joint action of both public and private actors. It is in this sense that the present study addresses the role of higher education institutions (HEIs) in El Salvador with respect to the SDGs, specifically in relation to objective 4 to ensure an inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all, and more specifically in the fulfillment of goal 4.3 which consists of ensuring by the year 2030 the equal access of all men and women to quality technical, vocational and higher education, including university teaching, this, with the objective of verifying the contribution of HEIs to the achievement of said goal.
For this, quantitative analysis tools were applied to data obtained from the document Statistical Information Results of Higher Education Institutions 2016. Descriptive statistics were used on the time series of the period 2012-2016 to determine the trend with respect to the enrollment of students, disaggregating them according to sex, and also, the gender parity index (GPI) was applied on the data of that period.
