SDG 4
Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all
Quality education is the basis for improving people’s lives and achieving sustainable development.
Important results have been achieved regarding increasing access to education at all levels and increasing enrolment levels in schools, especially for women and girls.
The basic literacy level has improved significantly, but efforts need to be redoubled to ensure even better results towards achieving universal education goals.
