Ensure inclusive and qual- ity education for all and promote lifelong learning. Why does education matter? Education is the key that will allow many other Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to be achieved. When people are able to get quality education they can break from the cycle of poverty. Education therefore helps to reduce inequalities and to reach gender equality. It also empowers peo- ple everywhere to live more healthy and sus- tainable lives. Education is also crucial to fostering tolerance between peo- ple and contributes to more peaceful societies. So through education, people can get better jobs and have better lives? Yes, education reduces inequality. Using data for 114 countries in the 1985-2005 period, one extra year of education is associated with a reduc- tion of the Gini coefficient by 1.4 percentage points. But hasn't a lot of progress been made over the last few years on education? Yes, enrolment in pri- mary education in devel- oping countries has reached 91%. According to the UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS Data Centre), since 2000, the percentage of out-of- school children among primary -school-age chil- dren has declined from 40% to 22% in sub-Sa- haran Africa and from 20% to 6% in South Asia. Where are people struggling the most to have access to education? More than half of children that have not enrolled in school live in sub-Saharan Africa, which makes it the region with the largest number of out-of-school children in the world. And this region has a very young population so it will have to provide basic education to 444 million children between the ages of 3 and 15 in 2030, which is 2.6 times the numbers enrolled today. Are there groups that have a more difficult access to education? Yes, women and girls are one of these groups About one-third of countries in the devel- oping regions have not achieved gender parity in primary education. In sub-Saharan Africa, Oceania and Western Asia, girls still face bar- riers to entering both primary and secondary school. These disad- vantages in education also translate into lack of access to skills and limited opportunities in the labour market for young women. What can we do? • Ask our governments to place education as a priority in both policy and practice. • Lobby our governments to make firm commitments to provide free primary school education to all, including vulnerable or marginalized groups. • Encourage the private sector to invest resources in the development of educational tools and facilities • Urge NGOs to partner with youth and other groups to foster the importance of education within local communities To find out more about Goal #4 and other Sustainable Development Goals, visit: http://www.un.org/ sustainabledevelopment SUSTAINABLEte', , U��L� DEVELOPMENT .►` SDG GOALS Obtaining a quality education is the foundation M creating sustainable development, to addnhwt to imptaving quality of life, access to inclusive educal wr can help equip locals An dhetools required to develop innovative solutions to the worlds greatest problems. over 265 million chime n are Mve ntiy ow of school and 22%of than are ofprimary school age.

It is estimated that already 8 billion plastic bottles have been diverted from landfills with the use of filtered water filling stations. Student's health would benefit greatly from having filtered water that is safe to drink. When students are aware that there is a filtered and sanitary system in place, they would be more likely to drink from this system versus the traditional school water fountains. The availability of these hydration stations may potentially cut down on the consumption of high sugary drinks as well as cutting down of single use plastic bottles/cans etc. Hydration stations costs vary by model but are roughly $2000/per unit for installation/equipment. The cost could be lower if installation is provided by the school contracted plumbers. After installation, the machines require low maintenance with filters needing to be replaced every 6 months, or when indicated on the machine. Increasing access to clean, healthy water is what our community owes the students of the Sweetwater School District and an investment in hydration stations is a vital step in helping our community reduce plastic waste as well as maintain a healthy lifestyle. Statistics/Data • Provider ElkayEZh20 has already listed 8 billion plastic bottles saved from landfills (refill counts). • Installation costs run from $900 - $1,500/unit with filters needing to be replaced every 6 months ($50 per filter). • Installation by certified plumbers is required but could be minimal with contractors. • Brands like Elkay and Halsey Taylor offer vandal resistant options. • Many school districts have already introduced these refill stations. • Models can still include the fountain option so if students forget their reusable bottle, they can still keep hydrated.
