UNESCO Global Education Monitoring Report 2024 is Out!
The UNESCO Global Education Monitoring Report 2024/2025 entitled Leadership in education: lead for learning was just launched this October 31st at the 2024 Global Education Meeting held in Fortaleza, Brazil.
Leadership is at the heart of quality education. There is a growing belief that educational leadership is the second most important factor explaining learning outcomes. Leaders at multiple levels matter, from those within the school, to those outside of the school such as middle managers, and including those outside of education systems in government, or those working on legislature and oversight.
The 2024/5 GEM Report released on 31 October, 2024, at the Global Education Meeting in Fortaleza, Brazil examines the requirements of good leadership in education and how they vary between countries and over time. It looks at the visions and goals that are driving leadership in education and examines the extent and through what practices the exercise of leadership contributes to better education outcomes.
External factors including social, cultural, governance conditions are looked at to see how they impact on effective leadership, as well as the policy levers that can be used to develop leadership skills in different contexts.
211 PEER country profiles containing laws and policies related to the selection, preparation and development of school leaders helped to inform the report.
