Handbook on Measuring Equity in Education

This handbook, produced by the UIS in collaboration with FHI 360 Education Policy and Data Center, Oxford Policy Management, and the Research for Equitable Access and Learning (REAL) Centre at the University of Cambridge, is intended as a reference for analysis and interpretation of education data. It is aimed at professionals involved in the measurement and monitoring of equity in education, which includes not only those working on the SDGs but also any stakeholders in the field of education: technical staff in ministries of education and national statistical offices, education practitioners, members of non- governmental organizations (NGOs) active in the field of education and researchers. Although users of the handbook are expected to have basic statistical knowledge and some familiarity with equity issues and indicator calculations, the subsequent chapters develop and review basic material for the respective topics.
