As follow up to the World Education Forum (WEF), Incheon, Republic of Korea in May 2015, and within the framework of the CAP EFA for Planning initiative in the GCC, UNESCO Doha and RCEP successfully organized and conducted a sub-regional Seminar, "Strengthening capacity to develop a Regional Monitoring and Evaluation Framework for Education 2030 in the GCC," from 1-3 September 2015 in Sharjah, UAE. This Seminar was held under the auspices of His Excellency Hussain Al Hammadi, Minister of Education, UAE.

Within the mandate of UNESCO Doha’s education program, the seminar aimed to work towards a framework for education indicators for the GCC to assess progress in the implementation of the post-2015 education agenda and the preparations for Education 2030 agenda. 


With the presence and guidance of experts from UNESCO HQs, UNESCO Institute of Statistics, and UNESCO Doha, participating countries from 5 GCC states including Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, and UAE reviewed the new Framework for Action presented at World Education Forum 2015 to ascertain relevance and application of the global education goal and its associated seven targets and three means of implementation within the context of this sub-region.

 

The meeting also enabled consultation on the proposed thematic indicators for education to receive national feedback from the GCC and initiated preparations at national level to define and contextualize the indicators, including measures for adapting existing or setting up of new monitoring mechanisms at country level. 

 

The Seminar was attended by more than 30 GCC education officials specifically high level ministerial representatives: under-secretaries of education, national coordinators for Post-2015 education agenda, senior education planners and Monitoring and Evaluation specialists and statisticians with experience in education indicators from the respective Ministries of Education.
