Global education monitoring

Global education monitoring

 

Quality education is critical to ensuring that every child develops the knowledge, skills and attributes they need to succeed in life. That’s why the Global Education Monitoring (GEM) Centre conducts research to enable education systems to measure where learners are at and to monitor learning progress.

A long-term partnership between ACER and the Australian Government’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT), the GEM Centre aims to ensure that education policies, practices and investments are influenced by high-quality evidence. The GEM Centre develops methods and tools for countries around the world to monitor progress towards achieving United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4 in education by 2030. Additional research provides evidence on key education themes for improving learning.
