The UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS) is excited to announce its annual Spring Data Refresh aimed at filling gaps and increasing coverage for SDG indicators related to education and research and development (R&D). All data are now available in our data browser, with education data for SDG 4 also accessible via our SDG 4 Data Explorer.
Peu de temps après la Conférence sur les Statistiques de l'Éducation, l'ISU a lancé l’Enquête 2024 sur l'Éducation Formelle. L'enquête est envoyée annuellement à 163 États membres et territoires de l'UNESCO et comprend quatre questionnaires à partir desquels sont produits vingt et un indicateurs globaux et thématiques de l'ODD 4. Cette année, l'enquête comporte également deux modules facultatifs, l'un se concentrant sur les enseignants selon leur niveau de qualification et l'autre sur les données de population nationale.
The archives listed below contain the latest official data disseminated by the UNESCO Institute of Statistics (UIS). To find out when the datasets will be updated please visit http://uis.unesco.org.
Intended Audience
The UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS) launched the fourth annual Survey on expenditure on cultural and natural heritage for SDG Indicator 11.4.1 on 6 September 2023.
The respondents received a link to the online questionnaire in LimeSurvey, to facilitate the user experience. The survey is available in English, French and Spanish. The response deadline is 6 November 2023.
The results of the 2022 survey are available in the report SDG 11 Synthesis report by UN Habitat, showing an increasing number of countries completing the questionnaire.
Calculating population-based indicators for monitoring progress towards education goals depends on having reliable and high-quality population data for the number of students at each age-group and education level. The UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS) uses two sources of population data: administrative data from countries based on observed head count and estimates based on statistical modelling by the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UNDESA) Population Division (UNPD) based on different parameters.
