The workshop will be conducted in English with simultaneous interpretation into Russian and Arabic.
This online workshop explores the role of data in accountability for gender equality in education, through the work of the Accountability for Gender Equality in Education (AGEE) project, which has been running since 2018. The session will present the project’s work in constructing national dashboards on gender equality in education, and explore the issues and methodological challenges that have emerged in these processes. The workshop will share some initial findings from the dashboards, showing some of the potential ways the data illuminates particular areas of discussion, and also share initial work on the composite indicator. Finally the workshop will highlight some of the gaps in data, professional expertise, and opportunities for dialogue that have emerged through work on AGEE and outline how upcoming initiatives aim to address some of these issues.
