Sustainable Development Goal 4 calls for new ways of collecting, analyzing and using data.

EMIS 2.0 has driven a global shift from static to dynamic data-driven systems focused on learning assessments, analytics and early-warning mechanisms.

Despite global trends, many GPE partner countries face challenges in the adoption of an EMIS 2.0 model and in harnessing the full potential of dynamic data-driven systems.

Instead, they continue to rely on fragmented and often inaccessible data systems while also grappling with resource constraints, technical capacity issues and low data literacy.

As such, public policies to improve education systems are often ill-informed about the specifics and scale of the prevailing quality, gender inequality and inclusion issues in their country.

How GPE KIX is supporting data systems and data use

From 2020 to 2024, GPE KIX has supported several projects to scale the impact of promising or proven innovations on data in education:
