National SDG4 Benchmarks A Formative Tool for Progress towards 2030 Learning Brief Final

This Learning Brief was compiled by the Global Campaign for Education (GCE) following the webinar held to highlight how the National SDG4 Benchmark Mechanism can be used to set national targets and monitor commitments made at the Transforming Education Summit (TES) as an accountability mechanism.  A key outcome of the Transforming Education Summit was to add three more indicators to the SDG4 monitoring framework with associated national benchmarks on greening education, digital transformation, and youth and student engagement in policy making. This Learning Brief provides GCE coalitions with an update on ongoing work defining these indicators. The brief highlights how the national SDG4 Benchmark Mechanism can also be used to set national targets and monitor commitments made at the Transforming Education Summit (TES), sitting at the heart of its accountability mechanism.
