iSupport Sustainable Development Goal: Quality Education

 

About the Website

I created this website for educators and all those who would like to teach children, young, and older adults about Sustainable Developmental Goals. It is intended to educate and engage with everyone so that they will turn their support into action regarding Sustainable Developmental Goals especially the Quality Education. 

 

Since 2000, there has been enormous progress in achieving the target of universal primary education. The total enrolment rate in developing regions reached 91 percent in 2015, and the worldwide number of children out of school has dropped by almost half. There has also been a dramatic increase in literacy rates, and many more girls are in school than ever before. These are all remarkable successes. 

 

Achieving inclusive and quality education for all reaffirms the belief that education is one of the most powerful and proven vehicles for sustainable development. This goal ensures that all girls and boys complete free primary and secondary schooling by 2030. It also aims to provide equal access to affordable vocational training and to eliminate gender and wealth disparities with the aim of achieving universal access to a quality higher education.

 

Quality education is one of 17 Global Goals that make up the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. An integrated approach is crucial for progress across the multiple goals. However, the big question is " What is the responsibility of the education sector to contribute to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals?"

 

At the end of this learning session, you should be able to describe the role of distance education in the 21st-century context and in the attainment of the Sustainable Development Goals.
