We are brought together today by a fundamental recognition: all countries are in a process of continuous development; all are working to address structural challenges and many are struggling to achieve the necessary development outcomes. To deliver on the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development we need to acknowledge and comprehend this reality.

Equity permeates the work of the OECD and it has been one of our top priorities for the past decade. Our latest tool, the Framework for Policy Action on Inclusive Growth, provides policy advice to inform action in key areas such as: investing in people and places that have been left behind; providing equal opportunities; and supporting inclusive labour markets, among others. Education remains at the core of these objectives.
