Chapter 2: SDG-4 Research Insights on SDG-4 Among Asia Pacific Countries

Educating all is a global movement for years; however, providing education with quality, equity and justice is a matter of concern. Despite United Nations’ (UN) determination to achieve all 17 sustainable development goals (SDGs) by 2030, achieving the SDG-4 has its own challenges. Thus, the present chapter of the volume aims to capture insights from research that has occurred pertaining to SDG-4 since 2015. The study explored research journal databases mostly indexed in Scopus or Web of Science. It did not include findings from any predatory journals. The study revealed significant research works that are conducted to support quality education among Asia Pacific (APAC) countries, viz., India, Japan, Australia, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, the Philippines, South Korea and a few other. Some of the milestones mentioned are nutritious food, health and hygiene, environmental education, inclusivity, climate education, STEM education and robotics. The current chapter suggests that future researchers conduct systematic studies and qualitative research to capture the nuances of SDG-4 implementation across the world.
