Inclusive education plays a key role in achieving sustainable development. Its impact ripples across many dimensions, fostering reduced fertility, morbidity, and mortality rates, while empowering women and enhancing workforce quality. Beyond these aspects, it influences individual learners, shaping their personal development and prospects in the job market. The significance of inclusive education goes beyond individuals, contributing to achieving five of the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It plays a significant role in realizing SDG1: No Poverty, SDG4: Quality Education, SDG5: Gender Equality, SDG10: Reduced Inequalities,
and SDG16: Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions. The global commitment outlined in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the African Union’s Agenda 2063 highlights the need to enhance educational outcomes and foster knowledge accumulation for developmental progress. To concretize this vision, the Education 2030 Framework for Action stands as a testament to driving advancements aligned with the objectives of SDG4 and its specific targets. Central to this framework is an emphasis on eradicating all forms of exclusion, and recognizing inclusivity as the cornerstone for achieving educational equity and
sustainable development. This study aims to propose key policy actions for an inclusive education agenda, empowering urban and rural youth in Africa, amplifying their role in socio-economic transformation, combating persistent inequality, and fostering inclusive growth.
