This evidence brief provides a summary of challenges and ways to improve EiE data systems. It draws on findings from a comprehensive evidence review based on a review of more than 400 peer-reviewed articles and grey literature as well as seven country-level case studies of data systems in Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, South Sudan, Nigeria, Bangladesh and Myanmar.

The study is based on key informant interviews (KIIs) with key stakeholders who have knowledge of the education data systems in NW Syria. This paper presents findings on the current education data systems and explores what types and quality of data they collect. It identifies challenges affecting the data systems from three angles, namely, context, outputs and processes, in addition to suggesting policy options.

This policy brief is based on the “Data Systems Report,” which explores Lebanon’s education data systems, focusing on data collection related to access, quality and continuity of education, especially in conflict and crisis. The study for that report maps critical stakeholders, highlighting roles and responsibilities.

Drawing on a detailed review of data systems in NW Syria (DSNWS) conducted by the ERICC research team, this policy brief highlights the key challenges around data systems in Northwest Syria (NW Syria) and makes policy recommendations to education stakeholders in the region

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.

This data systems review explores what education data is available and how it is used by stakeholders in Jordan to improve access, quality, continuity and outcomes for children affected by conflict and crisis. The methodology included a desk review of relevant literature coupled with 11 stakeholder interviews.

The World Education Statistics document is composed of an introduction that describes broadly the SDG4 monitoring framework, 11 thematic chapters, annexes, and a glossary. Each chapter focuses on one SDG 4 target and its more relevant indicator(s)

This webinar introduced participants to Indikit and the newly updated education indicators. It showed how to navigate the platform and took participants through examples of how to collect quality data. It provided space for participants to ask questions on how it all works, and how one can develop their own organizational indicator guidance if interested in having a tailored platform of indicators.

Together, the panelists engaged in discussion about connections and learnings across contexts. These presentations, ranging from global evidence reviews to comparative longitudinal studies, aimed to create a more cohesive understanding of the latest research in refugee inclusion, with the aim to move the EiE sector forward through specific takeaways for policy and practice.
