Quality Education\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Quality Education is a Sustainable Development Goal that focuses on access to universal and equitable education for all. The UN aims to achieve this target of universal, free and equal access to primary and secondary education for all boys and girls by 2030, leading to a decade of action from 2020\u20132030 towards achieving this goal.


This target carries prominence due to the low completion rate and the disproportionate enrolment rate of girl students. Many existing schools lack necessary infrastructure, from washrooms to books. Education is a tool for the social upward movement of downtrodden communities, and the medium to peace. Therefore it is important for all individuals to participate towards this goal and educate people to create a better society.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

A global book donation drive that aims to hold a direct school-to-school connection and build student-to-student empathy. The drive focuses on providing the underserved with necessary educational supplies \u2014 notebooks, stationery, books, mobile devices \u2014 to enrich their learning and take the community a step forward towards gaining Quality Education. It calls for action from schools and students to proactively work towards collection of resources for underserved students.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Underserved schools can be identified by the schools themselves, in addition to those identified by TALYouth and partner organizations. Donations can happen on digital platforms as well \u2014 from audio notes of books and e-books for the TAL digital library, to funds in TALGiving directed towards providing resources to schools. The pickup and drop of resources is managed by TALYouth.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
