United Nations SDG 004 – Quality Education

Nanocourse Description:

This course on SDG 4 – Quality Education – allows for a learner to get a holistic and global understanding of the role of education as a driver for sustainable development and improving people’s lives. It will challenge a person’s perspective on what makes quality education and allow for the learner to identify their opportunities as a change agent on the topic of quality education and Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) in their community. In a globalizing world, students will need to think critically, globally and in terms of whole systems. This course supports Ubiquity’s mission in building those skills.

By the end of this nanocourse you should be able to:

  • Understand SDG 4 – Quality Education in the wider global context
  • Self-reflect on your values and attitudes about quality education and ESD worldwide
  • Develop a simple plan of action to begin to create change in your local community
