After completion of MDG 2015, The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development has been lunched at the end of 2015. The 17 goals set out global actions for people and the planet, from gender equality to sustainable cities to peace and justice. And one of the goals is quality education. Goal 4 has two key components; access to quality education. Each goal cannot be achieved without the other and many overlap in their implementation and outcomes. Quality education is one of them, because without education our societies will be less peaceful, and without gender equality we’ll never reach quality education. This paper will show it’s vital for development. Education enables individuals, especially women, to live and aspire to healthy, meaningful, creative and resilient lives. It strengthens their voices in community, national and global affairs. It opens up new work opportunities and sources of social mobility. In short, the effects of education are significant across many development sectors.
