SDG 4 - Quality education
Education liberates the intellect and unlocks the imagination. It is the key to prosperity and opens a world of opportunities, making it possible for each of us to contribute to a progressive, healthy society. Learning benefits every human being and should be available to all.
LJMU is focused on both the quality of education provided through our curriculum, and our extensive external engagement initiatives. As part of our commitment to embedding sustainable development within our taught programmes, we are actively working to decolonise the curriculum. We’re also committed to supporting our local community, offering educational programmes delivering training for secondary school students in climate, chemistry and astronomy.
