The sustainable development goals (SDGs) or global goals have widely been stated in many countries and international associations in the world. The United Nations SDGs were adopted by the United Nations in 2015 as a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure that by 2030 all people enjoy peace and prosperity. The 17 SDGs are integrated—they recognize that action in one area will affect outcomes in others, and that development must balance social, economic, and environmental sustainability. The author of this article desires to explore the concept of ‘sustainability’ from the literature review and revise the three pillars of the ASEAN Community to find out the connectivity of the 17 SDGs with the ASEAN’s three pillars. Particularly, the author provided the Global Goal 4 – Quality Education in further detail. Then, this paper pointed out some findings through data collection from institutional document analysis and discussions. Findings indicated a clear imbalance between the human resources development and the training courses development of a university member in the system of Vietnam National University Ho Chi Minh (VNUHCM). The paper ends with some recommendations for enhancing the ASEAN connectivity and the educational sustainability for development at VNUHCM’s university member.
