Education is a human right and a force for sustainable development and peace. Every goal in UNESCO’s ‘2030 Agenda’ (17 Sustainable Development Goals-SDGs) requires education to empower people with the knowledge, skills and values to live in dignity, build their lives and contribute to their societies. While governments hold the main responsibility for ensuring the right to quality education, the ‘2030 Agenda’ is a universal and collective commitment. It requires political will, global and regional collaboration, and active engagement of educational institutions, civil society, youth, corporate/private sector, and other multilateral agencies to tackle educational challenges and build systems that are inclusive, equitable and relevant to all learners/stakeholders.
