SDG 4 Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all

nExhibit “Spark”n Incorrect welding parameters generate weld spatter which besides spreading over a wide area, also can have a deleterious effect on weld quality, deposition efficiency, cleaning costs and potentlal negative effects in service. The exhibit shows a welder executing a Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) procedure with inappropriate parameters for the short-circuiting metal transfer mode. A vibrant welding industry, a spark for transformation, generates job opportunities and economic growth, increases reliability of equipment in sectors such as food, marine and terrestrial structures, prostheses, water and energy as well as perpetuating the use of steel, a recyclable material, all to the benefit of many SDGs.

SDG 4 has targets which include: free primary and secondary education, equal access to quality pre-primary education, affordable technical, vocational and higher education, increased number of people with relevant skills for financial success, elimination of all discrimination in education, universal literacy and numeracy, and education for sustainable development and global citizenship.
