Background
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is the main marker of the birth of a new awareness of the people in the world about “good life”. An agreement of 193 countries in the world was becoming a step of the world development. SDGs are not only given the widespread influence towards the countries in the world, but also in depth to every country incorporated in this agreement. For developing countries, SDGs have become the basis of the birth of a new development policy.
This agreement becomes the main reference for development policies oriented towards poverty eradication, improving public health, educational promotion, and war on climate change. This policy derivative is specifically aimed at ensuring every step taken in achieving the following objectives; (1) to maintain the continuity of improving the economic welfare of the people; (2) maintaining the sustainability of community social life; (3) maintaining the quality of the environment; and (4) inclusive development and implementation of governance in order to improve the quality of inter and intergenerational life.
In the educational context, one of the goals of SDGs is to ensure equitable quality of education equally, and to enhance lifelong learning opportunities for all. Achieving the goals of SDGs was shared responsibility between the government and NGO, including formal and non-formal education.
