Education / Pedagogy
In fact the whole sentence sounds a bit confusing to me, specially the bit "vähemmän esillä olleesta opiskelijannäkökulmasta".
Is it something along these lines: "Quality was particularly intended to be approached (vähemmän esillä) from the existing students' point of view" ?- Sorry this is a bit rough, but...
(Opetuksen) Laatua haluttiin lähestyä nimenomaan vähemmän esillä olleesta opiskelijanäkökulmasta

Just for the record, this is a more literal meaning (originally the word esillä means 'on display/show'). Esillä also means 'current' in your context.

I disagree with the peer comment. It is true that we can make adjectives more extreme by using adverbs such as very, absolutely, far, etc. IMHO in this case there is no need to make the adjectival expression more extreme. The statement is neutral, not extreme in any way.

so far less discussed
'Esillä olo' here means 'to be (generally / publicly) discussed', 'to be paid attention to', 'to be in the limelight'.
"Quality was particularly intended to be approached from so far less discussed students' point of view"
More exact translation might be "Quality was particularly intended to be approached from students' point of view that has so far got less attention."
"Quality was particularly intended to be approached from so far less discussed students' point of view"
More exact translation might be "Quality was particularly intended to be approached from students' point of view that has so far got less attention."
