She highlighted that Education Above All will work toward the fulfillment of universal primary education all over the world.

HH Sheikha Moza also called for increased awareness about the scale of destruction caused by conflict and its negative impact on SDG progress, especially in education.

Launched in 2015, the Sustainable Development Goals aim to achieve universal peace and sustainably transform the world by 2030, through identifying and tackling various challenges like poverty, hunger, education, and climate change among 13 other goals.

Earlier this year, HH Sheikha Moza was reappointed as an Advocate among 16 eminent persons to assist the UN Secretary-General and create momentum to achieve the 2030 Agenda.

HH Sheikha Moza's reappointment as an SDG Advocate reflected Her Highness’ instrumental role in bolstering quality education, youth empowerment, and human development through her initiatives locally and internationally.
