When the United Nations adopted the 2030 agenda for Sustainable Development in 2015, education was recognised as an essential part for the success of the 17 goals.
The right to education is a part of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights for free and compulsory elementary education. Further, the Convention on the Rights of the Child, adopted in 1989, stipulates that countries should make higher education accessible to all.
There are various challenges to meet meeting these goals for around 244 million children and adolescents around the world out of school. Nearly 617 million children and adolescents cannot read and do basic math; less than 40 per cent of girls in sub-Saharan Africa complete lower secondary school, and some four million children and youth refugees are out of school, according to UN data.
As is said without inclusive and equitable quality education and lifelong opportunities for all, countries will not succeed in achieving gender equality and breaking the cycle of poverty that is leaving millions of children, youth and adults behind.”
We have in India Article 21 A that gives right to education to its citizen. It ensures that children between the ages of 6 and 14 have the right to free and compulsory education.
In particular, Sustainable Development Goal 4 aims to “ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all” by 2030.
