This goal aims to support future entrepreneurs and researchers and recognise their contribution to the economy. In 2019, fewer than one in five people used the internet in the least-developed countries.
A key attribute of education for sustainability is creativity and divergent thinking (European Commission 2014), and early childhood is a foundation for developing such mindsets.

This goal highlights the need for such practices, allowing the children to decide how to express themselves.
