Abstract

The 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda is intended to leave no one behind; many people see it as an all-encompassing, global, and interdependent concept. High-quality education will contribute to the development of more stable and long-lasting communities by broadening access to opportunities and fostering greater tolerance within society. Education reforms guaranteeing access to quality primary education rank highly among the Millennium Development Goals. Goal 4 of the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda emphasizes education’s transformative power for the sake of the world at large. Public schools are responsible for delivering a high-quality education to all students, and businesses and philanthropists may help to make this a reality. The Higher Education Sustainability Initiative and the UNICEF Global Action Plan both have the same overarching goal of assisting educational institutions in developing community-wide strategies for environmental sustainability. In 2018, 20% of the world’s children were not enrolled in schools, and, of those that were, over half had low literacy and numeracy skills. All young people across the world should be able to demonstrate proficiency in numeracy and functional reading by 2030. In this context, this article aims to discuss the connections between the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG 4) and education, research studies from many countries, their significance to education, and future expectations.
