Transcript of S3 addressing dimensions of quality education holistically rtp
Right To Play and Education
Why Education?
Education is critically important for ensuring the well-being of children and youth, empowers women and girls; lifts people out of poverty; and improves the health of mothers, children, and entire communities.
General Assembly in September 2015, officially adopted the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as the new guiding framework for global development. With SDG #4 “ensuring inclusive and equitable quality education and promoting lifelong learning opportunities for all,”
RTP believe that it can contribute to achieving this goal by working towards improving the teaching and learning process in disadvantaged communities and to benefit the most vulnerable groups and mainly children and youth.
