Goal 4: Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all
-
Goal 8: Promote inclusive and sustainable economic growth, employment and decent work for all
-
Goal 9: Build resilient infrastructure, promote sustainable industrialization and foster innovation
SDG 4 is to ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all.
Teachers are the key to achieving all of the SDG 4 targets. It requires urgent attention, with a more immediate deadline, because the equity gap in education is exacerbated by the shortage and uneven distribution of professionally trained teachers, especially in disadvantaged areas. As teachers are a fundamental condition for guaranteeing quality education, teachers and educators should be empowered, adequately recruited and remunerated, motivated, professionally qualified, and supported within well-resourced, efficient and effectively governed systems.
SDG 9 with Industry, innovation and infrastructure To help achieve SDG Goals, we have a new technology jargon coming up every few months, AI, block chain, 5G, 6G, Big data.
Yes, Technological progress is key to finding lasting solutions to both economic and environmental challenges, such as providing new jobs and promoting energy efficiency. Promoting sustainable industries, and investing in scientific research and innovation, are all important ways to facilitate sustainable development.
More than 4 billion people still do not have access to the Internet, and 90 percent are from the developing world. Bridging this digital divide is crucial to ensure equal access to information and knowledge, as well as foster innovation and entrepreneurship.
Need also to address issue of affordability of access terminal, network availability at good speed.
Education so far is widely physical and now changing to online. So we have challenged on both side technology and education.
