Education quality and how it's delivered have changed significantly over time due to various factors like technological advancements, shifts in societal needs, and evolving understanding of learning.

# data[].attributes.body
Quality education has transformed from a privilege for the elite to a global focus on universal, inclusive, and equitable access, with a growing emphasis on lifelong learning and leveraging technology for personalized experiences. Historically, education was often limited by wealth, gender, and social status, but societal shifts and international goals like the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) have expanded access and redefined quality to include not just basic literacy but also critical thinking, adaptability, and skills for the modern world.

# data[].attributes.body
One of the groups of communities that have the greatest responsibility for these types of quality education goals are governments, adults, and children, but even more so governments, some of which are not taking steps to address the problem of poverty and people around the world who do not have access to good education, jobs, and university, and for the development of society.

Exploring Responsibility to Achieving Inclusive and Equitable Quality Education for All (SDG 4)

# data[].attributes.body
In Quality Education there are different responsibilities that we need to complete to reach Goal 4 of Quality Education. These responsibilities are that we should help people who don’t have access to good schools, donate materials like notebooks, pencils, and books, and support teachers so they can teach better. Also, the government must make sure that every child can go to school, give resources, and create safe places for learning. If we all do our part, every child will have the chance to learn, grow, and build a better future.

Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all

Goal 4 aims to ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all. This goal supports the reduction of disparities and inequities in education, both in terms of access and quality. It recognizes the need to provide quality education for all, and most especially vulnerable populations, including poor children, children living in rural areas, persons with disabilities, indigenous people and refugee children.

This goal is of critical importance because of its transformative effects on the other SDGs. Sustainable development hinges on every child receiving a quality education. When children are offered the tools to develop to their full potential, they become productive adults ready to give back to their communities and break the cycle of poverty. Education enables upward socioeconomic mobility.

Significant progress was achieved during the last decade in increasing access to education and school enrolment rates at all levels, particularly for girls. Despite these gains, about 260 million children were out of school in 2018, nearly one fifth of the global population in that age group. Furthermore, more than half of all children and adolescents worldwide are failing to meet minimum proficiency standards in reading and mathematics.

UNICEF's contribution towards reaching this goal centres on equity and inclusion to provide all children with quality learning opportunities and skills development programmes, from early childhood through adolescence. UNICEF works with governments worldwide to raise the quality and inclusiveness of schools.

UNICEF is custodian for global monitoring of Indicator 4.2.1 Percentage of children (aged 24-59 months) developmentally on track in at least 3 of the 4 following domains: literacy-numeracy, physical, socio-emotional and learning.

Child-related SDG indicators

TARGET 4.1 By 2030, ensure that all girls and boys complete free, equitable and quality primary and secondary education leading to relevant and effective learning outcomes

TARGET 4.2 By 2030, ensure that all girls and boys have access to quality early childhood development, care and pre-primary education so that they are ready for primary education

TARGET 4.a Build and upgrade education facilities that are child, disability and gender sensitive and provide safe, non-violent, inclusive and effective learning environments for all

4.a.1
Proportion of schools offering basic services, by type of service

This indicator measures the presence of basic services and facilities in school that are necessary to ensure a safe and effective learning environment for all students. A high value indicates that schools have good access to the relevant services and facilities. Ideally each school should have access to all these services and facilities.

The percentage of schools by level of education (primary education) with access to the given facility or service

Electricity: Regularly and readily available sources of power (e.g. grid/mains connection, wind, water, solar and fuel-powered generator, etc.) that enable the adequate and sustainable use of ICT infrastructure for educational purposes.

Internet for pedagogical purposes: Internet that is available for enhancing teaching and learning and is accessible by pupils. Internet is defined as a worldwide interconnected computer network, which provides pupils access to a number of communication services including the World Wide Web and carries e-mail, news, entertainment and data files, irrespective of the device used (i.e. not assumed to be only via a computer) and thus can also be accessed by mobile telephone, tablet, PDA, games machine, digital TV etc.). Access can be via a fixed narrowband, fixed broadband, or via mobile network.

Computers for pedagogical use: Use of computers to support course delivery or independent teaching and learning needs. This may include activities using computers or the Internet to meet information needs for research purposes; develop presentations; perform hands-on exercises and experiments; share information; and participate in online discussion forums for educational purposes. A computer is a programmable electronic device that can store, retrieve and process data, as well as share information in a highly-structured manner. It performs high-speed mathematical or logical operations according to a set of instructions or algorithms.

Computers include the following types:
-A desktop computer usually remains fixed in one place; normally the user is placed in front of it, behind the keyboard;
- A laptop computer is small enough to carry and usually enables the same tasks as a desktop computer; it includes notebooks and netbooks but does not include tablets and similar handheld devices; and
- A tablet (or similar handheld computer) is a computer that is integrated into a flat touch screen, operated by touching the screen rather than using a physical keyboard.

Adapted infrastructure is defined as any built environment related to education facilities that are accessible to all users, including those with different types of disability, to be able to gain access to use and exit from them. Accessibility includes ease of independent approach, entry, evacuation and/or use of a building and its services and facilities (such as water and sanitation), by all of the building's potential users with an assurance of individual health, safety and welfare during the course of those activities.

Adapted materials include learning materials and assistive products that enable students and teachers
with disabilities/functioning limitations to access learning and to participate fully in the school environment.

Accessible learning materials include textbooks, instructional materials, assessments and other materials that are available and provided in appropriate formats such as audio, braille, sign language and simplified formats that can be used by students and teachers with disabilities/functioning limitations.

Basic drinking water is defined as a functional drinking water source (MDG 'improved' categories) on or near the premises and water points accessible to all users during school hours.

Basic sanitation facilities are defined as functional sanitation facilities (MDG 'improved' categories) separated for males and females on or near the premises.

Basic handwashing facilities are defined as functional handwashing facilities, with soap and water available to all girls and boys.

The number of schools in a given level of education with access to the relevant facilities is expressed as a percentage of all schools at that level of education.

The indicator measures the existence in schools of the given service or facility but not its quality or operational state.

Key asks

For every child to learn, UNICEF has eight key asks of governments:

1. A demonstration of how the SDG 4 global ambitions are being nationalized into plans, policies, budgets, data collection efforts and reports.

2. A renewed commitment to education to recover learning losses and manage impacts of COVID-19.

3. The implementation and scaling of digital learning solutions and innovations to reimagine education.

4. Attention to skills development should be a core component to education.

5. Focus to provide quality education to the most vulnerable - including girls, children affected by conflict and crisis, children with disabilities, refugees and displaced children.

6. A continued commitment to improving access to pre-primary, primary and secondary education for all, including for children from minority groups and those with disabilities.

7. A renewed focus on learning outcomes and their enablers, including learning in safe and adequate environments, support by well-trained teachers and structured content.

8. The implementation of SDG-focused learning throughout schools to raise awareness and inspire positive action.
