Lifelong learning and the right to education 2016, para. 63
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- The Special Rapporteur emphasizes the need for national-level measures in view of the importance assigned to lifelong learning in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Sustainable Development Goal 4 in the 2030 Agenda calls upon Member States to "ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all". That Goal includes 10 targets, 3 of which call in part for greater lifelong learning options. States are required, by 2030, to "ensure that all youth and a substantial proportion of adults, both men and women, achieve literacy and numeracy". They must also "substantially increase the number of youth and adults who have relevant skills, including technical and vocational skills, for employment, decent jobs and entrepreneurship". Finally, States are called upon to "ensure that all learners acquire the knowledge and skills needed to promote sustainable development".
