The UN sustainable development goal 4 aims to “ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all.” Education is not only a human right but a powerful tool in international development to promote social and economic development, improve equality, foster peace and stability, reduce poverty and improve health. Education systems are crucial in a world shaped by global competition and technological change. Developing a country’s skilled population will lead to innovation, entrepreneurship and productive employment.

Partnerships between governments, educational institutions, the private sector, and civil society are essential in generating and using skills and knowledge.
