Abstract
As the world prepares for the next generation of United Nations development goals, two critical priorities will be needed to build a sustainable global community and economy: advancing educational quality through improved learning experiences and reducing inequities in educational opportunities. Addressing these priorities within diverse contexts across the world presents a formidable challenge that has not yet been achieved despite major investments in school infrastructure, teacher training and the procurement of learning materials (Patrinos & Psacharopoulos, 2011).
