Education
The international community has pledged to improve education worldwide. Goal 4 of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Developments says: “Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all”.
The German government's development policy activities in the education sector are geared towards these internationally agreed targets. The guiding principle of the German government is “lifelong learning”. Everyone must have the chance to acquire knowledge and skills from childhood into old age.
