Launch of 2016 Survey on Literacy and Educational Attainment

The UIS has launched its latest data collection on literacy and educational attainment statistics to more than 200 Member States and territories.

The data from these two questionnaires will be used to complement the information collected by the UIS in its annual Survey of Formal Education.
 
Together, these data form a central part of the UIS global database of education statistics, and are used to monitor and report on progress towards international goals such as the education goal of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development adopted by UN Member States in September 2015.
 
Interested readers can consult the survey questionnaires online.  Country officials wishing to download the questionnaires for completion or to submit data online should access the electronic questionnaire site.
