Educational audiobook for children that talks about the fourth of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): the goal of quality education. Education is the process by which people gain access to knowledge. This is what allows us to better understand our communities' values and culture, build social skills, and get necessary training to perform different jobs. All these things make quality education extremely important for a fulfilling and independent life. That is why it is a basic right for children, adolescents and adults all over the world. This is also why it is the fourth sustainable development goal to ensure that this right is respected and that children, adolescents and adults have access to the education system. According to data from the United Nations, more than 260 million children in the world are not attending school, or rather, they cannot go to school. Sometimes this happens when children live far away from their schools and have to travel very long distances every day to go to school. Poverty is also a factor that limits access to education. Many children have to start working when they are very young in order to help their families economically, and this situation causes them to leave school before they finish their studies. Another reason that prevents access to the education system is the armed conflict or war situations that are occurring in some countries around the world.
