UNESCO Call for Review Panel

The United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) Institute of Statistics (UIS) is seeking fifteen representatives to sit on the newly created Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4.1.1 Review Panel, which will be tasked with reviewing country assessments, sampling methodologies, linking methodologies, and other assessment and methodological materials to determine if country reporting meets UIS’ standards and make recommendations to UIS about whether they should accept the reported results. Additionally, they will make recommendations back to countries that don’t meet the criteria on what changes they might need to make to ensure their results can be accepted and also how they might improve their overall outcomes. The main indicator used to measure SDG 4.1.1 is proportion of children and young people: (a) in grades 2/3; (b) at the end of primary; and © at the end of lower secondary achieving at least a minimum proficiency level in (i) reading and (ii) mathematics, by sex.
