Global Education Monitoring Report
The Global Education Monitoring Report (GEM Report) was launched in 2016. Previously titled the Education for All Global Monitoring Report, it published 12 Reports from 2002 until 2015, and was then renamed and relaunched under a new UN mandate to monitor progress towards the education targets in the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda. The GEM Report is an editorially independent report, hosted and published by UNESCO.
History[edit]
In 2000, at the World Education Forum in Dakar (Senegal), 164 countries committed themselves to achieve six Education For All goals by 2015 that would vastly improve learning opportunities for children, youth and adults.
International agencies pledged that no country engaged in this effort would be hindered by a lack of resources. Governments recognized that regular and rigorous monitoring was required to track progress towards the six goals, identify strategies that make a difference and hold governments and donors to account for their promises.
The Education for All Global Monitoring Report (EFA GMR) was established in 2002 as an authoritative reference that aimed to inform, influence and sustain genuine commitment towards these global Education for All goals.
At the World Education Forum in 2015, the EFA Global Monitoring Report became the Global Education Monitoring Report (GEM Report), with a new mandate to monitor the new sustainable development goal on education (SDG 4).[1] The Report is editorially and financially independent.
Report[edit]
Each year different versions of the Report are produced for different audiences: a gender report, a youth report, a summary version, policy papers and background papers.
Since 2019, regional reports are being published on each annual theme: migration and displacement (Arab States), Inclusion and education (Latin America and the Caribbean, and Central and Eastern Asia, the Caucasus and Central Europe, non-state actors in education (South Asia – forthcoming).
Online resources[edit]
The GEM Report runs five complementary websites
- The Profiles Enhancing Education Reviews (PEER) compile countries’ education laws and policies to help countries compare and learn from others. The profiles cover the following themes:
- Inclusion in education (2020)
- Equitable financing (2020)
- Non-state actors in education (2021/2)
- Climate change education (2021/2)
- Comprehensive sexuality education (2022)
- Technology and education (2023)
2. The World Inequality Database on Education (WIDE) managed with the UNESCO Institute for Statistics, visualises data showing inequalities by groups, within and between countries
3. Scoping Progress in Education (SCOPE) has visualisations explaining the data complexities behind SDG 4
4. Visualizing Indicators of Education for the World (VIEW) compiles multiple data sources to look at completion rates over time by country and region
5. World Education Blog is a blog written by the GEM Report, and featuring guest-blogs from a vast array of education stakeholders from the around the world. The content is managed by the Global Education Monitoring (GEM) Report, which is editorially independent from UNESCO
Fellowship[edit]
The Global Education Monitoring (GEM) Report Fellowship Programme, funded by the Open Society Foundation, supports researchers who aim to bring a novel perspective to comparative and international education development to aid the achievement of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4, the global education goal.
The Fellowship offers an opportunity to be part of a select group of scholars and researchers, collaborating with the GEM Report team on one or both aspect of its core objectives:
(1) to monitor and report on progress in the SDG4 on education and education-related aspects in other SDGs;
(2) to report on the implementation of national and international strategies to help hold all relevant partners to account for their commitments as part of the SDG follow-up and review.
