Whether fighting poverty, hunger or disease, education is one of the basic tools for enabling sustainable development all over the world. Mandela wasn’t the only person aware of the power and impact of education. The UN has also adopted it as one of the main goals in its 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Under the banner of "quality education" it calls for quality primary education and lifelong learning for all children, young people and adults – coordinated and aligned with their individual needs and circumstances.
