A roadmap to measure learning globally 

 

First meeting of the Global Alliance to Monitor Learning


Learning assessment experts, decisionmakers, donors and civil society organizations gathered in Washington, D.C., on 11 May to address the critical lack of comparable data needed to measure even the most basic reading and numeracy skills across countries.

 

The UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS) launched the Global Alliance to Monitor Learning (GAML) to support efforts by countries around the world to measure learning outcomes and to use that information to achieve Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4, to ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and to promote lifelong learning for all by 2030.

 

The global availability of learning assessment data has significantly improved in terms of geographic coverage as well as the different levels of education and subjects assessed. However, large disparities remain, with many countries still unable to sustain long-term programmes of high-quality learning assessments. In addition, the data that are currently available cannot be compared internationally because they use different methodological approaches and frameworks.

 

To resolve these issues, the Alliance brings together a broad range of stakeholders, including experts and decision-makers involved in national and cross-national learning assessment initiatives, as well as donors and civil society organizations advocating for education. Through a highly collaborative approach, the GAML will develop standards and provide the support needed by countries to produce a new generation of internationally-comparable measures of learning.

 

Five of the ten targets of SDG 4 focus on learning outcomes of children, youth and adults. The first GAML meeting focused specifically on building consensus on a pragmatic approach to generate comparable measures for Targets 4.1, 4.2 and 4.6 by building on existing efforts and knowledge. 

 

Learning Assessment Capacity Index

 

To help pave the way, the UIS has developed the Learning Assessment Capacity Index (LACI), which provides a snapshot of countries’ readiness to produce the data needed to improve learning and monitor progress towards these targets. The index shows the extent to which countries have undertaken large-scale learning assessments in primary and secondary education from 2010 to 2015. It includes international, regional and national assessments conducted in schools.
