By 2030, eliminate gender disparities in education and ensure equal access to all levels of education and vocational training for the vulnerable, including persons with disabilities, indigenous peoples and children in vulnerable situations

In its work to eliminate gender disparities in education and ensure equal access to all levels of education and vocational training for the vulnerable, including persons with disabilities, indigenous peoples and children in vulnerable situations, the Council of Europe has organised activities focused on facilitating the recognition of foreign qualifications to prevent discrimination in education and in employment and on enhancing the capacity of schools to remove prejudices and discriminatory approaches. Its Charter on Education for Democratic Citizenship and Human Rights Education states clearly that the valuing of diversity and equality, including gender equality, is an essential element of education in this field, as is the development of the type of knowledge and understanding that help reduce conflict, increase appreciation and understanding of differences between faith and ethnic groups and build mutual respect for human dignity and shared values.
