About the event:
The event will highlight the international community’s commitment, as set in SDG 4, to “ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all” and the Education 2030 Framework for Action, and its interlinkages with the human “right of everyone to education.”
The right to education encompasses, inter alia, the right to universal, free, compulsory primary education and equitable secondary education for all children, for the full development of human personality and human dignity. Inclusive and equitable education opportunities and treatment means quality education opportunities and treatment for all, without discrimination.
