SDG 4 is composed of
7 outcome targets and 3

Let's take a closer look on the
7 outcome targets...

By 2030, ensure that all
girls and boys complete
free, equitable, and quality
primary and secondary
education leading to
relevant and effective
learning outcomes.

What it means?

Key words to be
breakdown:

Primary and secondary education -
effectively grades 1-12 or the school
children attend from ages 6-18.
Primary = children aged 6-12,
secondary = children aged 13-18

Complete - it is not enough for
education to be available, success is
based on how many children
successfully finish their primary and
secondary education.

Free - 12 years of education should be
free for children and publicly-funded.

Equitable - all children must have the
access to quality education
regardless of their gender, race,
ethnicity, socio-economic status,
location, etc.

Quality - while the measurement of
this target uses numeracy and literacy
as a proxy, there is a general
understanding that quality goes
beyond this.

What it means?

In the first few years of life, more
than one million neural
connections are formed each
second – a pace never repeated
again. - UNICEF

According to UNICEF, early childcare
development and education encompasses
many aspects, including nurturing care,
good health, optimal nutrition and a
stimulating and safe environment for all-
round development and learning, but for the
purposes of this SDG target it is measured by
two important aspects:

• The percentage of children under the age of 5
who are “developmentally on track” in at
least three of the following four domains:
literacy-numeracy, physical, socio-emotional
and learning.
• Enrolment rate in pre-primary education; the
standard that countries strive for is at least
one year of free and compulsory quality pre-
primary education
