secondary enrollment rates, challenges remain in providing equal,
inclusive, and quality education, especially for rural populations,
marginalized communities, and girls. India faces disparities in access
to learning resources, infrastructure, qualified teachers, and
technology. Bridging these educational gaps is vital for empowering
future generations and achieving the Sustainable Development Goals
(SDGs), particularly SDG 4 on Quality Education.

The Government of India’s stance is firmly aligned with UNESCO’s
Education for All goals, emphasizing inclusive, accessible, and
equitable education across socioeconomic and geographic divides.

poverty, promoting gender equality, and enabling economic growth.
India advocates for international collaboration and resource-sharing,
leveraging technology, and adapting educational policies to meet the
unique needs of different demographic groups.

quality education, which includes:

establishment of a UN-sponsored fund dedicated to supporting
countries with limited resources in improving school infrastructure,
recruiting and training teachers, and providing digital learning tools.

supports collaborations between governments, NGOs, and private
sectors to improve teacher training, expand digital resources, and
build educational infrastructure in underserved regions.
