SDG 4 scorecard progress report on national benchmarks in Africa.

In 2015, the Education 2030 Framework for Action, which is the roadmap for achieving Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4, called on countries to establish national targets – benchmarks – to address “the accountability deficit associated with longer-term targets”. The UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS) and the Global Education Monitoring (GEM) Report, which are mandated to jointly monitor progress towards SDG 4, have helped countries fullfil their commitment to establish national SDG 4 benchmarks. The benchmarking process began shortly after the adoption of the SDG 4 monitoring framework by the United Nations General Assembly in 2017. In September 2020, the Continental Education Strategy for Africa (CESA) cluster on educational planning identified national SDG 4 benchmark setting as a priority area for collaboration with the UIS. Two consultations were organized in October 2020 with the African Union Commission (AUC) and the Association for the Development of Education in Africa. In a communiqué, the AU Commissioner for Human Resources, Science and Technology conveyed clear support for the process in Africa, as SDG 4 benchmarking indicators were relevant for CESA. The potential to add regional benchmark indicators was also raised, for instance on technical and vocational education given the importance of this sub-sector in the AU strategy. Overall, 72% of African countries have set national SDG 4 benchmarks for at least one indicator. This brochure presents a summary for Africa of the findings from the second global assessment of country progress towards the benchmarks. The assessment covers the period since 2015 and reviews the probability that each country will achieve its 2025 benchmark or – where such a benchmark was not set – the value they would have achieved if they had progressed at the historic (2000–15) rate of the fastest improving 25% of countries. Four categories capture the speed of progress – and its implication for the probability of achieving the benchmark – and two categories recognize the non-availability of data

We Need Everyone!

We need everyone in the effort to transform education. If you are for the well-being of kids and have visions of a more just and sustainable future, you are an ally. We need to start reaching out to all groups! Parents, students, teachers, policy makers, home educators, public, private, interdependent schools, community or alternative educators, and any one that cares. I ask that everyone reach out to each other and push forward based on the 40% we agree on. We have spent enough time fighting among ourselves, now is the time for action!
