According to ordinance , everyone has the right to receive an education of good quality.
The right to education is not only the right to access education but also the right to receive quality of education. Education must be available and accessible but also acceptable and adaptable.
A good quality education is one that provides all learners with capabilities they require to become economically productive, develop sustainable livelihoods, contribute to peaceful and democratic societies and enhance individual well-being. The learning outcomes that are required vary according to context but at the end of the basic education cycle must include threshold levels of literacy and numeracy, basic scientific knowledge and life skills including awareness and prevention of disease. Capacity development to improve the quality of teachers and other education stakeholders is crucial throughout this process.”
While we have good empirical data on the access to education we know much less about the quality of education. Unfortunately, the data on the skills and knowledge of students is sparse and has limited spatial and temporal coverage. This is in part due to the difficulty and cost of creating and implementing standardized assessments that can be compared across borders and time.
Most often the assessment is measuring learning outcomes of one or several of the following three dimensions:
- Reading and language proficiency
- Mathematics and numeracy proficiency
- Scientific knowledge and understanding
The assessments differ in respect to how children are selected. While some assessments select children by their age, there are other assessments which select children by the school grade the child attends. Education is a critical component which contributes extensively in the human development indices. It is one of the most important ways to attain the goal of sustainable global development.
Role of a strong education system:

Importance of education:

This progress is just the beginning of a global movement, with every student in every country learning about the basic life skills and approaches for sustainable development from well trained teachers equipped with resources and well designed curriculum.
- To help resolve the dire crises of education in the developing countries, concrete and strict policies should be recommended by the policymakers. Every stakeholder (Government, teachers, parents, and even students) in the education sector needs to work towards the implementation of these plans.
