This lecture explores Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG 4) — Quality Education — by examining how it is localised and interpreted within concrete national settings.
The speakers discuss how global education agendas are translated into national policies and practices in Angola, and how fragile states navigate collaboration with international organisations. They present a contextual analysis of SDG 4 implementation in Angola, mapping key indicators from the perspective of local actors.
The session highlights the challenges and opportunities within the Angolan educational landscape, showing how local policymakers and practitioners interpret, appropriate, and articulate global propositions from international agencies in order to address local educational problems.
