Sustainable Development Goal 4 seeks to 'Ensure inclusive and
equitable quality education for all and promote lifelong learning
opportunities for all.' It acknowledges that quality education is a
foundational necessity for sustainable development and an enhanced
quality of life. SDG4 - Quality Education: Inclusivity, Equity and
Lifelong Learning For All explores the multifaceted and complex
nature of the concepts of inclusivity and quality education.
Drawing examples from two different country contexts (Latvia and
Jamaica), the book explores how and why inclusive and quality
education is critical to sustainable development. It considers the
indicators of inclusive and quality education, how the concept of
education for sustainable development is evolving, and the ways in
which these indicators are being pursued. The book pays specific
attention to the roles of teachers, teacher educators, and the
curriculum in the attainment of inclusive and quality education and
21st Century skills for a sustainable society. Concise Guides to
the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals comprises 17 short
books, each examining one of the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
The series provides an integrated assessment of the SDGs from
economic, legal, social, environmental and cultural perspectives.
