Introduction
United Nations Sustainable development Goals includes all the global goals that had been
adopted by the Member States of United Nations in the year 2015 in form of a universal call for
taking appropriate actions for ending poverty, protecting the planet and ensuring that all people
can enjoy prosperity and peace by 2030 (Ali 2019). Moreover these goals are of great importance
because they can help in acting as a powerful platform for supporting the monitoring and
implementation for Rights of Persons with disabilities. There are 17 Sustainable development
goals as identified by the United Nations including- Zero hunger, good health and wellbeing,
quality education, gender equality, reduced inequalities and similar others. One of these goals
includes quality education (Chin and Jacobsson 2016). The main aim of the 4th sustainable
development goal of the quality education is to ensure equal opportunity and equal quality of
education for promotion of lifelong learning opportunity (Biermann, Kanie and Kim 2017). The
main aim of the paper is to propose a solution to the challenge identified by one of the UN
sustainable developmental goals. The paper will therefore discuss about a problem statement for
showing the problem that is being faced by one of the UN sustainable developmental goals,
identify possible solutions, and to provide a proposed action plan.

and better quality of primary and secondary education by 2030 for the purpose of leading to
effective and relevant learning outcomes (Bouwma et al. 2018). It also has the objective of

childhood development for the purpose of preparing them for primary education. To ensure equal
access to quality and affordable vocational, technical and tertiary education. The UN sustainable
development goals of quality education also has the objective of improving the skills of adults
and youths for making them employable (Costanza, Fioramonti and Kubiszewski 2016).
Irrespective of these goals and objectives there are a number of problems that are being faced by
the 4th sustainable development goals of united nations such as- lack of proficiency skills in
many of the students, still many students are not getting an opportunity to go to school, rapid
technological changes are taking place that are bringing a number of challenges and
opportunities, and improved educational opportunities for girls, women and other people
belonging to the vulnerable settings (Ferguson et al. 2018).
Lack of proficiency in students
According to the research conducted in the year 2015, about 617 million adolescents and
children or about 50 % of the adolescent and children are not achieving minimum levels of
proficiency in mathematics or reading (Dahlmann et al. 2019). It was also found that out of the
617 million children about 1/3rd of the children and adolescent were not going to school that was
affecting their proficiency (Franco and Derbyshire 2020). By developing proficiency of students,
they can become more employable because it can help in providing strength to an individual in
relation to particular skills.
Lack of opportunities for students to go to school
It was found that in many developing countries, there is a lack of infrastructural facilities
that provide for effective learning environments. Many countries still face the problem of lack of
electricity, computers, lack of internet and other basic necessities in school providing primary
and secondary education (Haddad 2018). And although the total amount spent on scholarship
