Abstract: Human Development talks of equality for all humans and argues in favor of inclusive development. There are various modes through which it can be achieved. The UN while acknowledging the significance of Human development formulated 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Out of the 17, the 4th SDG that deals with the quality of education is one goal that is somehow relevant to all the other 16 SDGs. Quality education is a result of the mix of good curriculum, research, and teaching. These traits ensure the good quality of education in fact these three traits can even be used as a metric to ascertain the quality of education. These traits contribute toward ensuring quality education. The example of SNC elucidates that the above three traits remain to be the mainstay any good educational system and structural limitations are the biggest hurdle in ensuring quality education. Also, the curriculum should be progressive in nature so that it remains able to absorb and reflect all the academic developments. The standards of teaching also require conducive work environment and better wages to augment the teaching quality. In conclusion, education is integral to human development but structural and resource limitations in ensuring quality education.
