The UNESCO Education for All Global Monitoring Report has formally been renamed the Global Education Monitoring Report.

On 5 January, the name and logo of the Global Monitoring Report was changed to reflect its new mandate to monitor international education targets until 2030. This mandate was officially confirmed in the Framework for Action Education 2030 and takes account of the new set of international goals and targets in place in the post-2015 era.

SDG4

The Global Education Monitoring (GEM) Report will be the mechanism for monitoring and reporting on the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4, a standalone goal on education, and on education in the other SDGs. It will have due regard of the global mechanism to be established to monitor and review the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. It will also report on the implementation of national and international strategies to help hold all relevant partners to account for their commitments as part of the overall SDG follow-up and review.

In addition, it will continue to be an editorially independent, authoritative, and evidence-based annual report published by UNESCO.
