“Accountability in Education: meeting our commitments”, 13 December 2017 in Bern
Global Education Monitoring Report (GEMR) 2017/18 “Accountability in Education: meeting our commitments” defines accountability as “a process, aimed at helping actors meet responsibilities and reach goals. Individuals or institutions are obliged, on the basis of a legal, political, social or moral justification, to provide an account of how they met clearly defined responsibilities.”
On the basis of this definition, the report analyses in particular how the various stakeholders (authorities, schools, teachers, parents, students, international organisations and the private sector) can provide education more effectively, efficiently and equitably. It continues with an assessment of progress towards SDG 4 of the 2030 Agenda and other education-related targets defined in the Agenda. The report was published on 24 October 2017.
