At the heart of the 2030 Agenda is a transformative, rights-based vision of “a fair, equitable, tolerant, inclusive and barrier-free world that meets the needs of the most vulnerable”. The 2030 Agenda covers all aspects of our lives. Goal 4 aims at providing inclusive and equal high-quality education and promoting lifelong learning opportunities for all. Education, the improvement of its quality and accessibility for everyone are among the priorities of the policy of Turkmenistan.

The 21st century is the age of knowledge, information and communications, an era characterised by rapid technological development. Therefore, a new development model for the third millennium can only be formed with the help of education and enlightenment. Goal 4 of the global 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development is based on the conception of changing people’s lives through lifelong learning.
