SDG4 and state capacity: The missing link

International Journal of Educational Development, 2023, vol. 103, issue C

Abstract: Supporting the capacity of governments to improve education systems is essential to achieving the global goals for education. The shift from the MDGs to the SDGs; the demands for education systems to respond to the COVID19 pandemic,and what others describe as a global “polycrisis;” each lead to escalating and more complex demands for national action in education. Strengthening the capacity of governments to respond to such complexity is essential for progress on the global goals for education. Yet improving state capacity in education remains one of the least debated, most poorly researched, and least coordinated areas for international cooperation today.
