聯合國2030年可持續發展議程涵蓋17項目標，第四項為「優質教育」，即：確保包容和公平的優質教育，讓全民終身享有學習機會。（解讀點此）
在這一大項下面，有13個具體目標，第一個是：到2030年，確保所有男女童完成免費、公平和優質的中小學教育，並取得相關和有效的學習成果。
● 現狀
教育能夠提升社會經濟地位，更是擺脫貧困的關鍵。2020年新冠疫情在全球蔓延，大部分國家宣布臨時關閉學校，這對全球91%以上的學生造成影響。截至2020年4月，有將近16億兒童和青年失學。全球疫情影響深遠，可能會逆轉在改善全球教育方面來之不易的成就。

全球教育領域中的性別平等得到持續推進。在國家層面，越來越多的國家承諾採取行動推動教育性別平等；從數據來看，女孩在中小學階段的入學率有所提高。在過去25年，全球範圍內小學階段女性入學率只從78%上升到88%，增長了10個百分點，每年增長不足0.5個百分點。以這個速度計算，全球所有女孩都能接受小學教育這個目標要到2050年才能實現。

Gender Equity in Education Carrying Forward
Gender equality in global education has been continuously promoted. More and more countries are committed to taking action to promote gender equality in education. Female enrollment rate and employment opportunities in primary and secondary schools have increased. In the past 25 years, the global primary school female enrollment rate has only increased from 78% to 88%, representing an increase of 10%, i.e. less than 0.5% per year. At such a rate, it is estimated that the target of all girls receiving primary education will not be achieved until 2050.
