Our Opportunities

Sustainable Development GoalsThe Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), officially known as Transforming our world: the 2030 Agenda for

Sustainable Development, are an intergovernmental set of aspiration

Goals with 169 targets.

We chose: Quality Education - SDG#4:

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

Since 2000, there has been enormous progress in achieving the target of universal primary educa:on. The total

enrollment rate in developing regions reached 91 percent in 2015, and the worldwide number of children out of school

has dropped by almost half. There has also been a drama:c increase in literacy rates, and many more girls are in

school than ever before. These are all remarkable successes.

NGOs, Educational

institutions and

Universities to

contribute to the
