</div><div><p style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:14.0px"><span style="font-family:Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif">The
 UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS) is the statistical office of 
UNESCO and is the UN depository for global statistics in the fields of 
education, science, technology and innovation, culture and 
communication.<br>
The UIS is the official source of internationally comparable data used 
to monitor progress towards the Sustainable Development Goal on 
education. With custodianship of SDG 4 Global and Thematic Frameworks, 
the UIS hosts and co-chairs the Technical Cooperation Group on the 
indicators for SDG 4. </span></span></p>

<p style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:14.0px"><span style="font-family:Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif">The
 UIS was established to improve UNESCO's statistical programme and to 
develop and deliver the timely, accurate and policy-relevant statistics 
needed in todayâ€™s increasingly complex and rapidly changing social, 
political and economic environments. Within this mandate, the UIS has 
initiated and supported regions and countries in developing benchmarks 
for selected SDG 4 indicators and region-specific education indicators; 
and, under the leadership of the African Union, is responsible for 
reporting against the CESA framework.  As part of its strategy for 
collaboration, brokerage and the generation of public goods the UIS has 
worked with UNICEF, World Bank, OECD and the GEMR on the Joint Survey of
 national education responses to COVID 19 and is developing resources to
 support the monitoring of commitments for Mission: Recovering Education
 2021. </span></span></p>

<p style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:14.0px"><span style="font-family:Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif">The
 UIS is developing a Global Education Observatory (GEO), with the vision
 of providing Member States and the international community with a 
gateway to education-related data that fulfils the need of national, 
regional and global stakeholders for easy access to information for 
decision making, which responds flexibly to short, medium and long-term 
priorities. <br>
To achieve this vision, the proposed Observatory has the following objectives: </span></span></p>

<ul><li style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:14.0px"><span style="font-family:Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif">Ensure
 that presentation is in a visually attractive ways of UIS datasets 
pertaining to the monitoring of SDG4 and SDG1 by preparing the database;</span></span></li><li style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:14.0px"><span style="font-family:Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif">In
 the medium-term, populate the gateway with data on the most important 
education policy priorities and form strategic partnerships with clear 
value added and complementarity, to ensure this gateway fulfils most 
stakeholdersâ€™ need with reference to achieving SDG 4.  </span></span></li></ul>

<p style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:14.0px"><span style="font-family:Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif">The
 GEO will compile and integrate information from existing data 
collection mechanism including the UIS annual data release and rapid 
response data collection mechanisms, providing policy makers with real 
time data. It will implement strategic partnerships; crowdsource 
existing data as needed; and leverage innovative data collection such as
 big data techniques.</span></span></p>
