De nouveaux profils de pays PEER et un document d'orientation sur la finance équitable
It is difficult to agree how much countries should spend on education. The Education 2030 Framework for Action appealed to countries to spend at least 4% of their gross domestic product on education. Some people question even such a modest target because country contexts vary significantly. Different countries appear to achieve the same education results with very different levels of public expenditure. However, there is consensus that, if countries are to achieve the goal of ‘inclusive and equitable’ education by 2030, they need to spend their budgets, whatever their level, in ways that actively pursue these inclusion and equity objectives.
On International Day of Education, the GEM Report launched a new policy paper, How committed? Unlocking financing for equity in education, discussing four categories of financing policies that can support such equity objectives depending on how comprehensive they are, how targeted their coverage is and the volume of funds they allocate. It found that only one in five countries demonstrate a strong commitment to financing for equity in their policies.
The analysis in the policy paper was based on mapping of equitable finance profiles from 78 countries, which have been added to the GEM Report’s new PEER website. The PEER website also now has new ISCED graphics for every country, showing the organisation of their programmes and related qualifications by levels and fields.
