GEM REPORT NEWS ALERT - February 2020

Education lights every stage of the journey to a better life. All children need access to education of good quality to unlock their learning potential and the wider benefits of education. Special efforts are needed to ensure that all children and young people can benefit equally from its transformative power. This requires sufficient resources, especially to reach those who need more support.

To mark International Education Day, the GEM Report launched a new online interactive tool, Education Progress. Available in seven languages, the site brings together data from various sources, notably the  GEM Report's own analyses and UNESCO Institute for Statistics, to explore the progress made towards SDG 4, the global education goal. The majority of the visualisations are interactive – you can choose your country, region, or income group to visualise the bottlenecks and policy priorities from now until 2030 in five areas central to SDG 4- access, equity, learning, quality and finance. Everything is shareable and downloadable, users can create images and data files to explore further, print, or use online or in presentations. Enjoy exploring the site! www.education-progress.org
