Abstract: The Sustainable Development Goals Goal 4 (SDG-4) emphasizes that inclusive and equitable education for all is essential to social justice and sustainable development. Under the direction of the National Education Policy (2020) and the Right to Education Act (2009), it aims to guarantee that all students, regardless of socioeconomic status, gender, disability, or language, have access to high-quality education. This study highlights learner-centered practices, inclusive pedagogy, and institutional support as crucial for attaining equity and inclusion in education. It does this by reviewing policy provisions and literature to examine implementation challenges, such as systemic barriers and limited teacher preparedness.
