GOAL 4: Quality Education
Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all
With a deep commitment to providing accessible, inclusive, and quality education to all, Bulacan Agricultural State College has become a shining example of how an educational institution can drive positive change in the community and contribute to the global pursuit of this important goal.
At the heart of BASC’s initiatives is its dedication to ensuring that education is a fundamental right for all, regardless of socio-economic status or background. To achieve this, BASC has implemented a range of programs and strategies that directly align with SDG 4, including making sure that education is accessible to underserved communities in Bulacan, curriculum innovation and continuous capacity building for educators to keep instruction relevant to the changing world, research and extension programs that address local challenges, and partnering with international institutions and organizations to open up opportunities for its students and teachers for global perspectives.
