FRESH Partners Participation in the Development of Goal #4 (Quality Education) of the UN Sustainable Development Goals
The members of the FRESH Partnership participated actively in the development of Goal #4 of the UN Sustainable Development Goals, helping to create a consensus on the need for health and personal social development (HPSD) education as part of an accessible, equitable, broad, inclusive, balanced and holistic education for all children.
As part of this process, the FRESH Coordinating Committee members reviewed several drafts of Target 4.7 of the goals, seeking to include the concept of health or life skills education within the wordijg of that target. Some progress was made and members of FRESH continue to advocate for a greater focus on this objective as the indicators of that Goal #4 are developed.
As well, a joint brief was submitted to the Incheon Conference on Education in 2015. The wording of the statements (NGO and official) do reflect the FRESH members concern that HPSD or life skills education be included.
