In the 21st century, many people still do not have the opportunity to attend school and receive a basic education. Being able to read and write is a fundamental skill in our daily lives. Simple tasks like finding directions, paying bills or sending an E-Mail are difficult if you cannot read and write or lack the necessary digital skills. Despite organised and dedicated global efforts, education remains a right denied to nearly 260 million children worldwide. Furthermore, the speed at which digitalisation is advancing should not be underestimated. This is creating a gap between the skills taught in our current education system and the needs of the new digital economy.
SDG 4 aims to enable equal access to all levels of education, including primary and secondary education for all girls and boys, equal opportunities for all women and men to access affordable vocational and tertiary education, and the training of relevant skills for decent jobs and entrepreneurship to youth and adults. SDG 4 seeks to ensure that all learners acquire the knowledge and skills needed to promote sustainable development, which includes environmentally conscious action and awareness of human rights, such as gender equality, as well as promoting a culture of peace.
