About:
On November 16th CID will be hosting a presentation by Dr. Priyadarshani Joshi of the recently published 2016 Global Education Monitoring Report, an editorially independent report published by UNESCO. This report has been mandated by the international education community to monitor the progress of the global goal of education in the new UN agenda (2016—2030). The Report presents a comprehensive vision of the ways in which education is linked to the other 16 sustainable development goals, and details the implications for monitoring the education goal (SDG 4). The presentation will be followed by a panel discussion.
