Time for an inclusive quality education

Dear Sir
We need to set some priority areas, particularly the right to inclusive and equitable quality education (IEQE). It is not only a human right in itself but is also of paramount importance for the exercise of all other human rights. Due to its importance, sustainable development goal 4 (SDG 4) provides a detailed outline and set of indicators and targets in order to ensure IEQE.

In defining IEQE, UNICEF emphasises quality learners such as early childhood development; quality learning environments such as inclusive school environment and quality of infrastructure; quality content such as student-centred, non-discriminatory, standards-based curriculum structures; quality processes such as continuing support for student-centred learning; and quality outcomes.





To ensure the right to inclusive and equitable quality education keeping SDG 4 in sight, the government and relevant stakeholders should take the necessary policy recommendations into consideration.
