Quick guide and tools help countries, donors, technical partners and civil society groups make the most of SDG 4 data.
As the custodian UN agency for SDG 4 data, the UIS not only has the mandate to produce the global monitoring indicators but also to help stakeholders – from countries and donors to civil society groups and technical partners - use the findings to get all children in school and learning by 2030.
Recognizing that different users have different needs, the UIS released a series of new products described below at a launch event with NORRAG (link is external) on 11 July in Geneva.
• The Quick Guide to Education Indicators for SDG 4 describes the process of developing and producing global monitoring indicators, while explaining how they can be interpreted and used. This is a hands-on, step-by-step guide for anyone who is gathering or analyzing education data.
• The SDG 4 Data Book: Global Education Indicators 2018 ensures that readers have the latest available data for the global monitoring indicators at their fingertips. This booklet will be regularly updated.
• The SDG 4 Data Explorer displays data by country, region or year; by data source; and by sex, location and wealth. It allows users to explore the measures of equality that are crucial for the achievement of SDG 4.
• The SDG 4 Cheat Sheet is a quick reference for the definitions and data sources of the 11 global indicators.
These products aim to promote a better understanding of the production and use of SDG 4 data among stakeholders. Together, they show stakeholders: who produces the data, how the indicators are developed, where to find the data, and – most importantly – how to use the information.
