ABSTRACT

The aim of this study is to compare the implementation of sustainable development goals targeted at an important area of socio-economic life: quality education. The study focuses on a sample of 28 European Union countries and uses multivariate approaches to check to what extent the goals have been achieved. Due to data availability, the study is based on data for 2018. Regardless of the employed method, the results, presented in the form of rankings, show that Romania and Italy achieved the lowest positions and were outliers; in contrast, Sweden was the best performer. The rankings underscore the differences within the European Union, highlighting the dissimilarities between countries. The results show that globalisation and the creation of unified policy frameworks in the European Union require additional effort at the domestic level, especially since education is an important element of the European Union’s strategies and the Sustainable Development Goals announced by the United Nations.

摘要

本研究的目的是比较针对社会经济生活的一个重要领域：优质教育的可持续发展目标的实施情况。该研究侧重于 28 个欧盟国家的样本，并使用多变量方法来检查目标已实现的程度。由于数据的可用性，该研究基于 2018 年的数据。无论采用何种方法，以排名形式呈现的结果表明，罗马尼亚和意大利的排名最低，属于异常值；相比之下，瑞典表现最好。排名强调了欧盟内部的差异，突出了国家之间的差异。结果表明，全球化和欧盟统一政策框架的建立需要国内层面的额外努力，
