The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), also referred to as the Global Goals, were adopted by the United Nations in 2015 as a global call to action to eliminate poverty, safe guard the planet, and ensure that by 2030, all people experience peace and prosperity. The 17 SDGs are interconnected, acknowledging that progress in one area will impact outcomes in others, and that development must achieve a balance between social, economic, and environmental sustainability.
When introducing the SDGs, the United Nations urged all member states to take on these ambitious and challenging objectives. It also highlighted the crucial role that businesses must play in addressing these challenges. This preliminary commentary aims to explore the ways in which the Information Communication and Technology (ICT) industry believes it can contribute to achieving the SDGs.
One of the key objectives of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is Goal 4, which focuses on ensuring Quality Education. This goal is closely aligned with the SEA Teacher Program, an exciting initiative designed for education major students from universities across Southeast Asia to gain invaluable teaching experience in schools throughout the region. The program supports SEAMEO's commitment to improving education by enhancing teacher training under the priority of "Revitalizing Teacher Education." Through this initiative, students not only contribute to the development of education in Southeast Asia but also play a key role in fostering a more vibrant, collaborative, and sustainable future for the region’s educational landscape.

The relevance of SDG Goal 4, Quality Education, is particularly evident in programs like the SEA Teacher Program, especially for students majoring in Special Education. SDG Goal 4 emphasizes inclusive and equitable quality education for all, which aligns perfectly with the mission of the SEA Teacher Program. This program offers education major students from Southeast Asia the opportunity to gain practical teaching experience in diverse schools, fostering skills that are essential for addressing the varied educational needs of students, including those with disabilities.
For Special Education majors, participating in this initiative provides an invaluable opportunity to learn how to implement inclusive teaching strategies through different culture or region perspectives, while also gaining firsthand experience in adapting lessons to meet the needs of students with different abilities. Through the SEA Teacher Program, these future educators contribute to the broader goal of creating a more inclusive and accessible education system, supporting the vision of equitable quality education for every learner in Southeast Asia.
