HLPF 2019 Spotlight Reports: Looking At 2030
All around the world members of our network worked on Spotlight reports for the High Level Political Forum (HLPF) to assess the status of the Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG4) on education in their countries or regions. Beyond the questioning around civil society’s relevance during HLPF, preparing spotlight reports is a useful exercise for civil society to better challenge their governments’ actions towards achieving SDG4 and provide evidence-based policy recommendations.
Though the common agreement is that there is still a long way to go to achieve free, quality, inclusive public education for all, countries and CSOs face specific challenges that demand targeted solutions, and overall a renewed commitment from States to better invest in education and the future of younger generations. As our Vice-President Madeleine Zúñiga declared during the official SDG4 review “We are convinced that education is a powerful instrument to transform lives and, therefore, transform the world, but not any education, but that which is an instrument of sustainable development, social justice, authentically democratic societies, global citizenship, the culture of peace that the whole world requires.” – and this is what the spotlight reports below highlight.
