Education

The UN SDG 4 calls on all countries to ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and to promote lifelong learning opportunities for all. 

According to The Sustainable Development Goals Report 2018 (by the United Nations), more than half of global children and adolescents are still not meeting minimum proficiency standards in reading and mathematics. Refocused efforts are required to improve the quality of, and disparities in, education along the lines of gender, location and other dimensions. More investments in education infrastructure are required, particularly in the least developed countries.

The OPEC Fund’s commitment to the education sector remains strong.
