This article highlights the issue of educational efficiency and enhancing the quality of education, referring to Sustainable Development Goal 4.

The final section proposes models for enhancing the quality of education by strengthening the “learning” component that takes into account specific variables that directly and indirectly affect the acquisition of knowledge and skills.
