While the UIS has taken the lead in developing the standards, guidelines and tools needed to produce SDG 4 data for SDG 4, there is a tremendous need for more resources to help countries collect and use the information. UIS data also empower civil society groups to mobilise public support for increased investment in education and hold governments accountable. UN partners and donors cannot better target their initiatives and resources for maximum effect. Without UIS data, countries cannot benchmark their progress while improving their policies and planning. The Commission also recognises the leadership role of the Institute in developing the standards, methodologies and internationally-comparable data on a wide range of education issues – from learning outcomes to education finance. It features a range of UIS data and specifically calls for greater support for the Institute given its mandate to monitor SDG 4–Education 2030. The International Commission on Financing Global Education Opportunity (The Education Commission) has launched a new report, entitled The Learning Generation: Investing in Education for a Changing World, which outlines a vision for the largest expansion of educational opportunity in modern history and the steps necessary to make the #LearningGeneration a reality.
Investing in education for a changing world The report calls for increased funding and support for the Institute as part of a data revolution in education. The International Commission on Financing Global Education Opportunity looks to the UIS for leadership in producing the data needed to keep countries and donors on track towards SDG 4.
