It is sometimes difficult to keep track of the many reports published by foundations, multilateral organizations and others on progress towards Sustainable Development Goal 4, which seeks to ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all.
This post provides links and a brief outline for a few reports published in 2018 and 2019 by various organizations. Some of these reports may be useful to school teachers, principals and administrators as well as policy makers and researchers. The documents are available online for free, in some cases in multiple languages.
Goalkeepers - Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation
Goalkeepers has nothing to do with soccer. It is the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation’s annual report card on the world’s progress toward the SDGs. The analysis is conducted by the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington.
The 2019 report is the third in the series. It focuses on inequality and was released ahead of the UN General Assembly in September. Lots of graphics and key messages, including stories of progress for primary healthcare, digital inclusion and climate adaptation.
