Quality Education (SDG 4) and Quality of Education: Perspectives, Similarities, and Differences

This paper analyses the concepts of Quality Education (SDG 4) and Quality of Education, exploring their perspectives, similarities, and differences. Education is recognized as a vital component in developing individual potential, influencing social standing, labour market competitiveness, and quality of life. The study highlights the necessity of equitable access to quality education as a means to foster innovation and productivity. While Quality Education reflects a global commitment to inclusive education as outlined in Sustainable Development Goal 4, Quality of Education examines the processes and resources that underpin educational outcomes. The research employs scoping reviews and content analysis to systematically synthesize existing knowledge on these concepts, elucidating their multifaceted nature and their contributions to societal progress and educational quality.
