Educational programs related to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) aim to equip learners with the knowledge, skills, and values needed to address global challenges and contribute to a more sustainable future, with a focus on SDG 4: Quality Education
The African Union has declared 2024 as the Year of Education, aiming to advance progress towards Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4: inclusive and equitable quality education for all
A skilled population is an indispensable element of successful long-term economic development. However, the major problem in many developing countries, particularly in Africa, is the low quality of education. For example, most children in these countries complete primary school without acquiring functional literacy and numeracy skills, reflecting educational systems that struggle to prepare large numbers of students.
Numerous factors contribute to this challenge, and a wide array of potential solutions has been proposed to tackle it. Perhaps the most critical initial step toward improving school performance is obtaining transparent and analytically useful data from student assessments. When properly constructed, this data identifies possible performance levels and encourages analyses that can improve low-performing school systems.
