The data听collected in the听听give听Member States,听international organizations, donor agencies听and听academia听the tools听to听monitor progress toward SDG 4听while further providing Member States with the evidence to inform national education policy decision making.听

The survey听also听collects internationally comparable data on key aspects of education systems, such as听structure and characteristics,听access, participation, progression and completion, school resources听and听the associated human and financial resources dedicated to them.听

This year, the scope of the Survey of Formal Education will reflect the听听introduced in our September data release.听听

Key dates for the survey听in 2021:听

To听ensure听that the collected data is听high quality听and comparable across countries,听the UIS has听put in place strong protocols such as听consistency checks and internal reviews prior to dissemination.听To do this, the UIS works听with Member States so听that听data are reported according to听听(ISCED 2011 and ISCED-F 2013). We also听use听a common source of data for population and economic data and the same methodology for calculating indicators for all countries.听听

Further,听the UIS听follows听up with respondents听should survey answers听require clarification.听Examples of听potential听inconsistencies include听different data values in different parts of the questionnaire, different totals听across the questionnaire听for the same data, or reported data totals that do not match the sum of听disaggregated data (by age, by sector, by grade, by sex).听

The data collected in the Survey of Formal Education听are used in several flagship international reports-including:听
