Data for education: a guide for policymakers to leverage education data

The objective of this document is for policymakers to understand what data sources are available and the importance of producing high-quality data for effective policy planning. Education practitioners must understand the importance of investing in data and take advantage of all the data ecosystem- not just the resources available in the Ministry of Education- in order to create a cycle of increased investment in data collection, better quality data production, and better data-driven policies.
