SOCIETY, TO PREPARE AND QUALIFY THEM FOR WORK IN ECONOMY AS
WELL AS TO INTEGRATE PEOPLE INTO SOCIETY AND TEACH THEM VALUES
AND MORALS OF SOCIETY. ROLE OF EDUCATION IS MEANS OF

WHAT WOULD YOU CHANGE ABOUT SCHOOLING
TO HELP EQUIP YOU BETTER?
• OUR EDUCATION SYSTEM IS TOTALLY BASED ON THE BOOKISH KNOWLEDGE.
• SPORTS AND OTHER ACTIVITIES ARE NEGLECTED

OUR EDUCATION SYSTEM SHOULD GIVE EQUAL IMPORTANCE TO

VOCATIONAL SUBJECTS.
• SPORTS, DRAWING AND MUSIC SHOULD ALSO BE INCLUDED IN REGULAR
LECTURES.

PRACTICAL KNOWLEDGE SHOULD BE IMPARTED MORE IN STUDENTS

• SHOULD TEACH ABOUT PERSONAL FINANCE
DO YOU THINK WE WILL ACHIEVE SDG 4 AND SDG
8 BY 2030?

• SDG=BY 2030, SUBSTANTIALLY INCREASE THE SUPPLY OF QUALIFIED

TEACHERS, INCLUDING THROUGH INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION FOR
TEACHER TRAINING IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES, ESPECIALLY LEAST
DEVELOPED COUNTRIES AND SMALL ISLAND DEVELOPING STATES.
TEACHERS ARE THE KEY TO ACHIEVING ALL OF THE SDG 4 TARGETS.

SDG8=For the 190 million unemployed, job availability is the key not only to economic
growth, but also to more equal wealth distribution.  Economic prosperity and opportunities
for gainful employment are critical for safe, stable societies.
