Dissemination
The UIS provides a variety of tools to access data crucial for decision-making and policy needs.
The Global Education Observatory is a gateway to education-related data aimed to meet the needs of national, regional and global stakeholders for easy access to information for decision-making to respond to priorities. It builds on existing data from a range of sources and gathers new information, ensuring an exchange of information to improve the monitoring of SDG 4 progress and relevant and emerging policy commitments.
UIS.Stat is a comprehensive, easy-to-use browser for viewing and downloading the most popular UIS data and indicators in tables. Data are organized in a tree view by topic and presented in a simple three-dimensional format (indicator, country or region, year). Users can build customized tables and export data in Excel.
Bulk Data Download Service is offered to developers and researchers, enabling them to make rich use of UIS dissemination data for their websites and applications.
