SDG4 is a priority because high-quality education is a fundamental human right to which everyone should have access, regardless of background or circumstances. Access to education is not a privilege. Education promotes equality and social justice; it can provide individuals with the tools and opportunities to overcome discrimination, prejudice, and other forms of inequality. As part of my commitment to global education and ensuring that every child is in school with quality education, I volunteered in Cusco, Peru, in August 2022 to teach English to students. Although this is a small step, it is definitely a positive influence I may have on others to do the same.

Overall, it takes a combination of changes by the government, community investment, and a dedication to fairness and equality for all to reduce inequalities and create more inclusive places for everyone. This task, though challenging and perpetual, is essential and requires dedication from all. We must treat everyone with dignity and respect, regardless of their circumstances or family background. It also means learning from and listening to others, joining conferences and organizations, and being open to challenging our own biases and assumptions. We can all benefit from a more inclusive and just society if we unite and take action together.
