Mapping of Education data systems in Lebanon

This report undertakes a mapping and analysis of Lebanon’s education data systems, focusing on understanding and documenting what data are collected on access, quality and continuity, particularly in contexts of conflict and protracted crisis. Emphasising the pivotal role of data systems in governance and policy decisions, the study utilises a methodology involving a desk review and conversations with primary data sources. The report provides an overview of Lebanon's existing data systems, including key issues such as data types, key stakeholders, data collection frequency, data-sharing and identified data gaps. Our findings highlight gaps in Lebanon’s education data systems, particularly concerning data on accessibility and enrolment for students with disabilities, and reveal a lack of coherent numbers distinguishing between refugees and nationals, limited financial and budget information and the need for more comprehensive data on school dropout and loss of learning.
