Leveraging data to support decision-making, analysis and accountability in global education.
Reliable and timely data enables decision makers to respond quickly to problems and plan for the future. To achieve Sustainable Development Goal 4’s vision of quality education for all, teachers must have access to student assessment data to provide individualized learning. In addition, administrators need teacher performance and attendance data to inform personnel management, and Ministries of Education require budget and expenditure data to inform school-level budgets, textbook provision, and appropriate support for children with disabilities.
Recognizing that technology can facilitate the gathering, analysis and use of data in a cost-effective and efficient way, ACR GCD invests in technology approaches to improve the quality, transparency and accessibility of education data. Emphasizing the importance of inclusive education, ACR GCD also adapts assessments to measure reading outcomes for children with disabilities.
