The purpose of these guidelines is to assist countries in preparing credible education sector plans. They present an overview of sector analysis, consultative processes, policy reform, strategy development, plan implementation, and monitoring.
The toolkit is designed to support you in planning and carrying out evaluation using Participatory Video (PV) with the Most Significant Change (MSC) technique, or PVMSC for short.

Fixing the Broken Promise of Education for All, a report produced by the UNESCO Institute for Statistics and UNICEF, could not be more timely. As the international community renews its commitment to advance every child’s right to education, it explores why global progress has stalled since the early 2000s, when millions of additional children poured into the world’s classrooms, and provides the data and analysis needed to move forward and reach every child excluded from education.
