Abstract: Education is a fundamental right that plays a vital role in the sustainability of human life and the development of a nation. In Indonesia, quality education holds a crucial role in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly Goal 4, which emphasizes inclusive and equitable education for all. Despite the government's various policies aimed at improving the quality of education, significant challenges remain such as disparities in access between urban and rural areas, low teacher quality, and inadequate infrastructure which continue to hinder progress. This study aims to comprehensively analyze the role of quality education in supporting the achievement of the SDGs in Indonesia, while also identifying the major challenges and policy strategies required to realize equitable and sustainable education. Employing a literature review approach, the findings of this study highlight that quality education serves not only to enhance academic capacity but also to foster character development, reduce poverty, and strengthen social resilience. Therefore, cross-sectoral collaboration and inclusive, equity-oriented educational policies are essential across all regions in Indonesia. With strong commitment and an integrated approach, Indonesia has the potential to build a more effective educational system capable of producing skilled, creative, and innovative generations who are prepared to meet global challenges and contribute to sustainable social and economic development
