SDG 4
From my perspective, the fourth Goal, among the 17 SDGs, which is to “ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all”, is both, fundamental and significant. Moreover, I deeply believe that education is a milestone for the future. An uneducated person finds it very difficult to cope with numerous aspects of life. Also, an illiterate person, is a person who cannot expand his vision and, of course, it’s most likely to be victimized. Education triggers awareness, assists a person in developing an organized way life and provides him with many opportunities. A fully educated person is enabled to see the world beyond his surroundings. Education is also a prerequisite for the prosperity and modernization in any country. Unfortunately, in 2016, the participation rate in early childhood and primary education was 52% in Northern Africa and Western Asia and 41% in sub-Saharan Africa.
