The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and Education for all (EFA) Goals have been replaced by a Sustainable Development Framework with a new set of arguably more ambitious goals and targets. The most recent report Transforming Our World: The 2030 Agenda For Sustainable Development highlights this framework and outlines the education goals. The overarching goal that has been put forward for education is to Ensure Inclusive and Equitable Quality Education and Promote Lifelong Learning Opportunities for All. The targets associated with this goal between them cover all educational levels from early childhood development and care to scholarships for Higher Education and crucially teachers and teacher supply. In this context, we discuss the continuities and discontinues in the new SDG quality agenda through an analysis of the policy debates and documents about the evolving framework paying particular attention to how quality is conceptualised ,how it is translated into targets and how teachers are located in the global education quality discourse and governance frameworks. The analysis will be rooted in a discussion of what this changed global education agenda means for teacher education, teaching, and teachers. The paper argues for the notion of education quality as a dynamic, process oriented social justice process.
