Use of Education Management Information Systems (EMIS) for effective monitoring SDG4 at national, regional, and global level

This document, part of the presentation carried out in the Regional Forum on Education Policy in 2021, summarizes and expands on Use of Education Management Information Systems (EMIS) for effective monitoring of SDG4 at national, regional, and global level. This report elaborates on the processes followed by the UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS) as the custodian agency of SDG 4 to aggregate and curate the data. To underpin the findings from the presentation, additional context, definitions, and data is included in this report, which is primarily drawn from three reports viz., Operational Guide to Using EMIS to Monitor SDG 4 (UNESCO-UIS, 2020a), Data Innovation for Producing SDG 4 Indicators: A Global Analytical Report (UNESCO-UIS, 2020b) and Buyer’s and User’s Guide (UNESCO-UIS & GPE, 2020).
