SDG 4

Article 1 

 Education liberates the intellect, unlocks the imagination and is fundamental for self-respect. It is the key to prosperity and opens a world of opportunities, making it possible for each of us to contribute to a progressive, healthy society. Learning benefits every human being and should be available to all

THE TARGETS

Everyone can help to make sure that we meet the Global Goals. Use these ten targets to create action to ensure quality education.

1) *FREE PRIMARY AND SECONDARY EDUCATION*

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

2) EQUAL ACCESS TO QUALITY PRE-PRIMARY EDUCATION

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

3) UNIVERSAL LITERACY AND NUMERACY

By 2030, ensure that all youth and a substantial proportion of adults, both men and women, achieve literacy and numeracy.

Article 2

In an informative yet practical webinar titled “Integrating the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into Higher Education”, HESI convened a group of higher education experts to discuss challenges and opportunities around integrating the SDGs into teaching, researching, partnerships and organizational practices of higher education. 

The event featured several panelists, few of them are:

The first panelist, Dr. Akio Takemoto, reflected on the importance of knowledge and support in integrating the SDGs and implementing them across the board.

Dr. Isabel Rimanoczy, underscored the importance of developing conscious behavior in the next generation, in terms of a sustainability mindset that is reflected in the way to be, think and act. This also implies, she added, an awareness of the impact of individuals on their surroundings

Dr. Arif Satria, focused his remarks on the need to change behavior, mindset and attitudes, including developing adaptive change mindset and skill sets as a result of new curricula.

Article 3

In this era of uncertainty that has caused the biggest education disruption due to the COVID-19 pandemic, The Higher Education and Sustainability Initiative (HESI) looks forward to working with others to address some of the most pressing questions, including how can we redesign higher education in support of sustainable development, a green recovery, and regenerative pathways for education while also ensuring the quality of education, equity, and gender equality everywhere, to build the world we want.
