What is SDG 4?
103 million young people worldwide lack basic literacy skills, and six out of 10 children and adolescents are not achieving a minimum level of proficiency in reading and maths.
This goal ensures that all girls and boys complete free primary and secondary schooling by 2030. It also aims to provide equal access to affordable vocational training, to eliminate gender and wealth disparities, and achieve universal access to a quality higher education.
The Royal Academy of Engineering supports the Sustainable Development Goals.
