Este estudio tiene como objetivo identificar el papel de la Educación y Formación Profesional (EFP) en el cumplimiento del Objetivo de Desarrollo Sostenible 4 (ODS 4). Con este propósito, se realizó una revisión bibliográfica centrada en políticas para examinar la relación entre la Educación y Formación Profesional (EFP) y el Objetivo de Desarrollo Sostenible 4 (ODS 4: Educación de Calidad), parte de la Agenda 2030 de las Naciones Unidas para el Desarrollo Sostenible. En el estudio se revisaron artículos publicados entre 2015 y 2025 utilizando los términos clave “educación técnica y profesional”, “desarrollo sostenible” y “objetivos de desarrollo en la educación”. Los materiales consultados se analizaron mediante el método de análisis de contenido. Los resultados indican que la EFP no se limita a la adquisición de competencias profesionales; también promueve la inclusión social, contribuye a reducir el desempleo juvenil y fortalece el desarrollo económico al abordar la desalineación de competencias. En consecuencia, se enfatiza que las políticas nacionales deben fortalecerse y la cooperación internacional debe ampliarse para que la EFP se convierta en una herramienta más eficaz para alcanzar las metas del ODS 4.
