Overview

Providing a comprehensive overview and analysis of the implementation status of Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG-4) in Asia-Pacific countries, Quality Education for All in Asia-Pacific Countries provides a timely update on steps taken to achieve the 2030 goal of inclusive and equitable quality education for all.   The targeted regions for analysis include notable countries such as India, South Korea, Japan, Australia, Malaysia, and the Philippines. Chapter authors from each region delve into the period from 2015 to 2023 and present a thorough examination of policy initiatives designed to enhance the quality of education. Beyond the regional boundaries, each chapter sheds light on the global scenario of SDG-4 implementation, especially in the global south. This global awareness will contribute to international efforts and collaborations in achieving the UN-SDGs, and assist developing and developed countries in understanding the specific actions taken by these nations to improve the quality of education. In addition to reporting the current status of SDG-4 in Asia Pacific countries, chapters include awareness modules to highlight key aspects, lists of best practices adopted by these countries, attention to challenges faced by Asia-Pacific nations in implementing SDG-4 and forward-looking strategies for continued progress.
