In December 2018, building on a series of regional consultations, the education community struck a common chord at the Global Education Meeting in Brussels, the first gathering of its kind since the adoption of the 2030 Agenda. Ministers, representatives of government, multilateral organizations, civil society and other stakeholders agreed on a set of priorities for collective action. These include an overarching focus on the right to inclusive quality education; eradicating illiteracy; including migrants, displaced persons, refugees and stateless persons in education; quality gender-responsive education and training; strengthened education for global citizenship and sustainable development; more flexible and open learning systems providing a broader range of knowledge, skills and competences at all levels; qualified teachers and domestic and international resource mobilization.

This set the ground for the first review of SDG 4 by the July 2019 High level Political Forum, the UN apex platform for the follow-up and review of Agenda 2030. As the UN agency responsible for the coordination of SDG 4, mandated by the World Education Forum in Incheon (Republic of Korea, 2015), UNESCO provided an analysis of where the world stands on SDG 4, how countries have taken up the goal in their policies, and made recommendations to act better, differently and collaboratively.
