Education is the key that will allow many other Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to be achieved. When people are able to get quality education they can break from the cycle of poverty. Education helps to reduce inequalities and to reach gender equality. It also empowers people everywhere to live more healthy and sustainable lives. Education is also crucial to fostering tolerance between people and contributes to more peaceful societies. To deliver on Goal 4, education financing must become a national investment priority. Furthermore, measures such as making education free and compulsory, increasing the number of teachers, improving basic school infrastructure and embracing digital transformation are essential.

It is critical to emphasize the “quality” of human capital. While the number of years of schooling is important, so is the cognitive ability (measured by test scores) gained from those years. Even if students spend over twelve years in a school system, they may not gain significant improvements in productivity if the quality of their education was poor.

The new study highlights the importance of improving the quality of education, not just increasing the number of years students spend in school, in order to promote economic development. Most legislators recognize the connection between education and economic growth, but they often ignore the distinction between the quantity and quality of education.

Although Illinois schools are accessing more state funds, performance is inert. This occurrence can be traced back to unnecessary raises in teacher pay and manipulation of the General State Aid. Many policy makers simply say increasing the money supply to failing schools in the state will solve the problem completely. But unfortunately, additional monies do not always improve outcomes.

According to the Illinois Policy Institute, education spending in the state has been growing at an average nominal rate of over 5% annually since 1994, and yet, student test results are not showing signs of improvement. Some of the state’s lowest performing schools also have been receiving an increase in funding, with no progress.

In the US, voting is essential because it enables people to exercise their democratic right to participate in national governance. Voters have the power to select representatives, influence policy, and hold public servants responsible for their deeds. By ensuring that the government represents the various viewpoints and interests of the populace, voting fosters a more responsive and inclusive democracy.
