The project aims to contribute to inclusive and equitable quality education and to promote lifelong learning opportunities for all, as outlined in the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG4). The Global Education Monitoring Report (GEM Report) is an editorially independent report, established in 2002, to monitor progress towards the international education agenda targets. The GEM Report provides analysis on different regions focusing on specific issues such as gender, education in conflict situations, migration and skill for youth, which permits a comparison between education systems at the global scale. Based on a rigorous review and analysis of both qualitative and quantitative research and data, the GEM Report provides a breadth of understanding on progress and challenges in education that serves to inform and hold global, regional and national education stakeholders accountable. The GEM Report also serves as a basis for evidence-based advocacy to promote progress towards achieving the education targets set out in SDG4, including through acting as convener, and brokering dialogue on education issues with policy makers, academics, education stakeholders and young people, to effect policy changes. Project activities include: (1) the publication of three annual editions of the global report (2020, 2021, 2022) and its associated products; (2) publishing the regional reports; (3) publishing the gender equality report; (4) publishing policy papers; and (5) supporting the GEM Report’s advocacy work.
