SDG 4: Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all by 2030

​

WHY IT MATTERS

Obtaining education is the foundation to creating sustainable development. In addition to being key to escaping poverty, access to quality education can give people the tools required to develop innovative solutions to the world’s greatest problems. Education also has the ability to foster tolerance among people and enable us to live in more peaceful societies. 

​

Progress has been made towards increasing access to education at all levels, particularly for women and girls. However, around the world over 265 million children are currently out of school. 

  • What Can I Do?
    Buy fair-trade and other ethically sourced products where people are offered decent prices for their produce and labour. Volunteer in a skill-sharing programme within your college or community e.g. computer skills, building a resume, preparing for job interviews. Campaign for international solutions for peace. Violent conflicts and social upheaval are one of the main drivers of poverty. Food waste is linked to global poverty as consumers increase the demand for food by causing prices to rise and make food less affordable for others. Write to your local TD’s, and ask them to make sure Ireland continues to work towards achieving an end to world poverty.
