Carmen's Story 

Carmen and her two brothers were not going to school. They each helped their parents on the farm and did not have enough money to attend school. That changed when the State opened a new school that gave them free education. All children from their community were able to study. Not only that, they also learned about seeds, techniques to improve irrigation of their crops, and other useful skills. It was, in short, a school where everyone was treated equally, no matter if they were girls or boys, rich or poor. Everyone had the same right to study.

To achieve Goal 4

 the States have agreed to:

 • Ensure education for all, starting from basic education. 

• Provide more opportunities for technical and vocational training
to youth and adults so they can get better jobs. 

• End inequality in educational opportunities between men and
women, for children with disabilities, indigenous people and
victims of conflict. 

• Improve school facilities to provide a safe and positive
environment for everyone. 

• Increase the number of scholarships for vocational and technical
training, either in a person’s home country or abroad. 

• Increase the number of trained and qualified teachers. 

• Promote education for sustainable development.
