Disaster risk reduction and resilience is crucial to achieving the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Embedded across the SDGs, disaster risk reduction is an enabler of more than a dozen goals spanning food security, human health, infrastructure, and ecosystem-related targets. Enhancing policy coherence among the SDGs and across the 2030 Development Agendas requires an approach that can be adapted to the specific circumstances, context and needs of countries.
Offers a roadmap for the production of the new indicators needed to monitor progress towards Education Development Objective 4 (SDG4) Education - 2030.
The collection and analysis of good quality data to track progress in education across the world are vital to ensure that no one is left behind. According to a 2016 inventory undertaken by the UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS), the world currently gathers only half of the data needed to monitor progress towards the Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG 4) targets.
Presents a framework and strategy to improve national data quality needed to monitor SDG 4.
Imagine the scenario in which a newly appointed education minister arrives at the ministry, with a modern approach and steadfast commitment to the spirit and reporting of the Sustainable Development Goal on education (SDG 4). Yet the momentum fades quickly, as the minister realizes that they are in many ways like an air traffic controller, who sees a deadly storm looming on the horizon of a major airport when suddenly 80% of their navigation instruments begin to malfunction.
The new Handbook on Measuring Equity in Education, produced by the UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS), the FHI 360 Education Policy Data Centre, Oxford Policy Management and the Research for Equitable Access and Learning (REAL) Centre at the University of Cambridge, provides practical guidance on the calculation and interpretation of indicators designed to target the most disadvantaged groups. It is intended for anyone involved in the measurement and monitoring of equity in education, especially those concerned with national policymaking.
The Quick Guide to Education Indicators for SDG 4 describes the process of developing and producing the global monitoring indicators of Sustainable Development Goal 4 while explaining how they can be interpreted and used. It provides basic explanations of the Goal's targets, its indicators, how they are created and where to find the information needed. This is a hands-on, step-by-step guide for anyone who is working on gathering or analyzing education data.
The Education within the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development portal provides a platform from which to access information, news, data, monitoring, planning, and etc. surrounding SDG 4 "Quality Education."
