Education is a fundamental human right for all. The United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4 on education has received considerable attention since its adoption in 2015. But more than halfway through the implementation period, achieving the ambitious agenda of inclusive and equitable quality education for all by 2030 remains a significant challenge for countries around the globe. As this report shows, the US$10 trillion social cost of failing to educate all the world’s children is just too high.
