Abstract
The Learning Metrics Partnership (LMP) is a joint initiative of the UNESCO Institute for Statistics and the ACER Centre for Global Education Monitoring (ACER-GEM) to develop a set of nationally and internationally comparable learning metrics in mathematics and reading, and then to facilitate and support their use for monitoring purposes, in partnership with interested countries. This document outlines the LMP’s three-phase program that aims to develop and validate common learning metrics for reading and mathematics, and to support countries to report results of their assessment activities against these learning metrics. The key features of the program are fourfold: it accommodates results from a range of different assessments of learning outcomes; it yields high quality data that are nationally relevant and internationally comparable; it emphasises peer-to-peer capacity support and learning opportunities; and it has a strong focus on improving data use and policy interface.
