Education ٢٠٣٠ Framework for Action

Refugees [[xiv]] and the UN General Assembly Resolution on the Right to Education in Emergency Situations [[xv]]. Those principles include:

· Education is a fundamental human right and an enabling right. To fulfil this right, countries must ensure universal equal access to inclusive and equitable quality education and learning, which should be free and compulsory, leaving no one behind. Education shall aim at the full development of the human personality and promote mutual understanding, tolerance, friendship and peace.

· Education is a public good, of which the state is the duty bearer. Education is a shared societal endeavour, which implies an inclusive process of public policy formulation and implementation. Civil society, teachers and educators, the private sector, communities, families, youth and children all have important roles in realizing the right to quality education. The role of the state is essential in setting and regulating standards and norms [[xvi]].

· Gender equality is inextricably linked to the right to education for all. Achieving gender equality requires a rights-based approach that ensures that girls and boys, women and men not only gain access to and complete education cycles, but are empowered equally in and through education.

II. GOAL, STRATEGIC APPROACHES, TARGETS AND INDICATORS

Overarching goal

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

١١. The overarching ٢٠٣٠ Agenda for Sustainable Development education goal (SDG ٤) commits to providing inclusive and equitable quality education at all levels and expresses the new key features of Education ٢٠٣٠, which underpin this Framework for Action.

١٢. Ensure access to and completion of quality education for all children and youth to at least ١٢ years of free, publicly funded, inclusive and equitable quality primary and secondary education, of which at least nine years are compulsory, as well as access to quality education for out-of-school children and youth through a range of modalities. Ensure the provision of learning opportunities so that all youth and adults acquire functional literacy and numeracy and so as to foster their full participation as active citizens. The provision of at least one year of free and compulsory pre-primary education of good quality should also be encouraged.

١٣. Ensure equity and inclusion in and through education and address all forms of exclusion and marginalization, disparity, vulnerability and inequality in education access, participation, retention and completion and in learning outcomes. Inclusive education for all should be ensured by designing and implementing transformative public policies to respond to learners’ diversity and needs, and to address the multiple forms of discrimination and of situations, including emergencies, which impede the fulfilment of the right to education. As gender equality is another key feature of Education ٢٠٣٠, this agenda pays particular attention to gender-based discrimination as well as to vulnerable groups, and to ensuring that no one is left behind. No education target should be considered met unless it is met by all.

١٤. An integral part of the right to education is ensuring that education is of sufficient quality, to lead to relevant, equitable and effective learning outcomes at all levels and in all settings. Quality education necessitates, at a minimum, that learners develop foundational literacy and
