Quality Education - The United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 4

The UN explains: "Obtaining a quality education underpins a range of fundamental development drivers. Major progress has been made towards increasing access to education at all levels, particularly for women and girls.

Basic literacy skills across the world have improved tremendously, yet bolder efforts are needed to achieve universal education goals for all. For example, the world has achieved equality in primary education between girls and boys, but few countries have achieved that target at all levels of education."

The charts and visuals below provide data on the major developments in global education in relation to the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) targets.

The UN has defined 10 Targets and 11 Indicators for SDG 4. Targets specify the goals and Indicators represent the metrics by which the world aims to track whether these Targets are achieved. Below we quote the original text of all Targets and show the data on the agreed Indicators.

How is the world doing on this goal?

Scholarships for developing countries - SDG Indicator 4.B.1

Definition: Indicator 4.B.1 is the "volume of official development assistance flows for scholarships".



This indicator measures the levels of financial support and development assistance provided for education and training scholarships.

Goal: By 2020 "substantially expand globally the number of scholarships available to developing countries".

Unlike most SDG targets which are set to be achieved by 2030, this indicator has the target year of 2020.

Target 4.C: Increase the supply of qualified teachers in developing countries

UN definition: "By 2030, substantially increase the supply of qualified teachers, including through international cooperation for teacher training in developing countries, especially least developed countries and small island developing States."

Supply of qualified teachers - SDG Indicator 4.C.1

Definition: Indicator 4.C.1 is the "proportion of teachers in (a) pre-primary; (b) primary; (c) lower secondary; and (d) upper secondary education who have received at least the minimum organized teacher training (e.g. pedagogical training) pre-service or in-service required for teaching at the relevant level in a given country".









This is measured as the share of pre-primary, primary, lower secondary, and upper secondary teachers who are qualified (meaning they have achieved at least the minimum qualifications to teach at a given level).

Goal: By 2030 "substantially increase the supply of qualified teachers".
