The United Nations Sustainable Development Goal No. 4 – Education 2030 – sets the global goals and vision on education. It seeks to accelerate progress made by the Education for All (EFA) program. Recognizing that the implementation of these new goals lie primarily with key agencies — National Economic Development Authority (NEDA), Department of Education (DepEd), Commission on Higher Education (CHED) and the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) – PH NatCom organized the Stakeholders’ Conference on Education 2030 to discuss and determine areas of policy convergence and to reflect upon key agencies’ priorities and strategies to achieve the education targets.
