Botswana National Implementation Plan for Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4 - Education 2030

The Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4 is an ambitious and specific goal to drive the education development agenda from 2016 – 2030 and a means through which all the seventeen (17) SDGs will be achieved. The SDGs aim among others, to end poverty, hunger and inequality, take action on climate change and the environment, improve access to health and education, and build strong institutions and partnerships.

To ensure adequate attention to the different thematic areas of education, SDG 4 has been broken down into seven targets and three means of implementation. The targets and the means of implementation are crafted in such a way that all the critical areas of education, both emerging and the unfinished Education for All (EFA) business could be addressed in some way through the global education agenda.
This publication presents Botswana’s National Strategy for the Implementation of SDG 4 – Education 2030, which was developed with guidance from the Incheon Declaration on Education 2030. The Incheon Declaration on Education 2030 is a guide to Member States on the implementation of SDG 4. It provides an outline on how to translate the agenda into national priorities and further proposes some strategies and thematic indicators for measuring success on the different SDG 4 targets.
