Figure 1: To what extent has SDG 4 been prioritised in education policy in your country since 2015?
Thirty eight percent (38%) reported that their government had established an SDG 4 coordination mechanism. Examples of coordination mechanisms considered by unions as contributing to the facilitation of implementation included: -- In India, an organisation called NITI Aayog was set up in 2015 to replace the Planning Commission. It aims to enhance cooperative federalism for policies in order to achieve the SDGs. -- In Kenya, SDG 4 has been mapped in the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology’s Vision 2030, a plan to enable mainstreaming of the goal in policy, planning, budgeting, monitoring and evaluation systems and processes. Furthermore, information, education and communication materials on the SDGs have been produced and disseminated to raise awareness of the goals. -- In Ghana, an SDG coordination mechanism has been established. However, unions lament that it does not include representation from education unions. -- In Zambia, education unions note efforts to align National Development Plans with the SDGs. The theme of the Seventh National Development Plan (2017–21) is “Leave No One Behind”. GRO.EI-IE 0302 NOITA CUDE
