INTRODUCTION

1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) constitute the new global agenda which succeeded the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) referred to as Agenda 2030 signifying the timeline for the attainment of SDGs globally (United Nations, 2017). The SDGs provided a comprehensive agenda consisting of 17 goals, 169 targets and well over 200 indicators. The SDGs provided a global five “Ps” agenda: people, prosperity, planet, peace and partnership meant for all nations of the world. The Sustainable Development Goals consist of   No Poverty,  Zero Hunger, Good Health and Well-being, Quality Education,  Gender Equality, Clean Water and Sanitation, Affordable and Clean Energy, Decent Work and Economic Growth,  Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure,  Reducing Inequality, Sustainable Cities and Communities, Responsible Consumption and Production, Climate Action, Life Below Water, Life On Land, Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions, Partnerships for the Goals. The goals are broad based and interdependent. This 17 Sustainable Development Goal's has targets which are measured by indicators.

Consequently, the SDGS goal also seeks to develop the educational sector and make education accessible to all.
