ABSTRACT: In 2015, the United Nations adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Of the 17 goals and 169 specific targets on the Agenda, Goal 4 addresses sustainable development in education. The goal includes many specific targets, including Target 4.1 and Target 4.2, which define the tasks of mobilizing children of preschool, primary, and lower secondary ages to school. This is one of the key requirements for increasing the number of students that achieve sustainable development goals in education. Based on reviews and analyses to get an overview of the context and the implementation of targets 4.1 and 4.2 in Asia-Pacific, the paper analyzes the situation of out-of-school children in Vietnam from the results of the study "The Global Initiative on Out-of-School Children" by the United Nations. And based on a better view of the number, age structure, ethnicity, gender, and social composition of out-of-school children, the article analyzes and finds out the barriers to children's school attendance; and then it proposes solutions to send them to school. Three questions to be answered from the paper, namely “Who are out-of-school children?”, “Why do they have to stay out of school?” and “What can be done to send them to school?” will hopefully contribute to creating equal learning opportunities for children, aiming at the achievement of sustainable development goals by 2030.
