Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all

Tax authorities can play an important role in promoting inclusive and equitable quality education and lifelong learning opportunities for all by taking the following actions:

1. Increase public investment in education: Tax authorities can allocate a larger portion of government revenue to education, including early childhood education, primary and secondary education, and tertiary education. This can help to ensure that every child has access to quality education, regardless of their socioeconomic status.
2. Implement progressive taxation: Progressive taxation is a system in which the tax rate increases as income increases. This can help to ensure that the wealthiest individuals and corporations contribute a larger share of their income to fund education, which can help to reduce inequality and improve access to education for all.
3. Provide tax incentives for education: Tax authorities can provide tax incentives for families and individuals who invest in education. For example, tax credits or deductions could be provided for expenses related to tuition, textbooks, and other educational materials.
4. Collaborate with educational institutions: Tax authorities can collaborate with educational institutions to ensure that they are effectively using tax revenue to improve access to education and promote lifelong learning. This can include supporting initiatives such as scholarships, grants, and vocational training programs.
5. Monitor and evaluate the impact of tax policies on education: Tax authorities should monitor and evaluate the impact of their tax policies on education to ensure that they are effectively promoting inclusive and equitable quality education and lifelong learning opportunities for all. This can help to identify areas where improvements can be made and make adjustments as necessary.

By taking these actions, tax authorities can contribute to promoting a more equitable society with better access to education and opportunities for lifelong learning.
