The Global Education Monitoring Report (GEMR) has launched a campaign calling for all countries to report back to their citizens on their progress in education. The campaign is called #MakeItPublic.
The campaign highlights that: “Governments are the primary duty bearers for the right to education. Governments should be transparent about their progress towards their education commitments so that we can hold them to account. However, only one in every two countries have published a national education monitoring report since 2010, and most do not produce them very regularly.”
The campaign calls on
“All governments to:
- take steps towards producing a regular national education monitoring report, capturing progress on education commitments across all education levels, and government education expenditure;
- make reports publicly available to their citizens, including on the internet;
- use their national education monitoring reports as key sources for the education section of their SDG national voluntary reviews;
All regional organizations with an education agenda to:
- produce regional education monitoring reports, based on their regional education strategies and monitoring frameworks, thereby influencing national approaches to monitoring education.”
