1. Monitoring global progress towards education goals Issues for the future Manos Antoninis Global EFA Meeting Muscat, 12 May 2014

2. Progress  Independent monitoring mechanism (since 2002)  Increasing availability of data sources… (e.g. household surveys, learning achievement surveys, direct assessments of literacy etc.) … which allowed new indicators to be developed  Improved focus on reporting and accountability Monitoring education goals since 2000

3. Challenges  Initial confusion over what should be measured  Goal 2: enrolment rather than completion  Goal 3: (lack of clarity)  Goal 6: inputs rather than outcomes  Continuing lack of data on key indicators  Lack of emphasis on equity  Insufficient coordination between data producers, especially at the national level Monitoring education goals since 2000

4. 2015 GMR  Nuance measure of progress:  updated projections to 2015  evidence of acceleration: 1990s vs. 2000s  Equity: as in previous reports, present progress for different population groups  Openness: use household surveys for selected countries that do not have regular DHS and MICS Looking ahead

5. Post-2015 goals  Measurability: a shift to outcomes calls for clarity in  concepts: early childhood development, learning, literacy/numeracy, skills for work, skills for citizenship  tools  Equity: what indicators for global monitoring?  Openness: is ‘data revolution’ all about coordination? Looking ahead
