Introduction to Basic Education
Education is a human right and a driver for individual, social and economic development. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) recognize education as a goal and a means for achieving other SDGs. Inspired by the Swiss educational system SDC builds on the mutually reinforcing qualities of basic education and vocational skills development and stresses the link to the labour market. With significant private and societal returns, basic education is often considered as the single best public investment.
