Measuring the outcomes of skills systems, policies and targeted programmes is essential in order to monitor and improve their effectiveness and relevance. Elements of sound assessment processes include: institutions to sustain feedback from employers and trainees; mechanisms to track labour market outcomes of training and systems of accountability that use this information; and, quantitative and qualitative labour market information and its dissemination to all stakeholders.

Education in an Interconnected World: Ensuring inclusive and equitable development.

The 2018 Global Education Meeting will review progress towards the global education targets and commitments in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The Global Meeting will bring the global community together to take stock of progress and identify strategic priority areas requiring political guidance and intervention for the effective achievement of the global Education 2030 Agenda.

This high-level gathering will be a milestone in the assessment of education policies, strategies and challenges in preparation for the 2019 High Level Political Forum (HLPF). The 2019 HLPF will review in-depth the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) focusing on Education (SDG4). As such, the 2019 HLPF theme “Empowering people and ensuring inclusiveness and equality” will frame discussions at the GEM. Focus will be given to the inter-linkages between SDG 4 and Goals 8 (Decent work and economic growth), 10 (Reduced Inequalities), 13 (Climate action) and 16 (Peace, justice and strong Institutions), paying particular attention to the issue of migration, displacement and refugees.

The Global Education Meeting will gather some 300 participants including UN agencies and affiliated organizations, multilateral and bilateral agencies, regional organizations, the teaching profession, civil society organizations, the private sector, foundations, as well as youth and student representatives among others.
