This application for follow on funding to the Accountability for Gender Equality in Education (AGEE) project builds on the work done thus far to develop an indicator framework for gender equality in education linked with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), reviewed through critical participatory discussion at local, national, and international levels. Through this work we have investigated how stakeholders engage with accountability processes concerning education, equalities and rights, and the gender dynamics of learning outcomes. Work on AGEE in 2018-2020 has led to the conceptualisation of an indicator dashboard comprising data under a range of headings concerned with analyzing levels of gender inequality and equality in an education system, and processes that can lead to change. This has potential to be used in national planning (e.g. in preparing Education Sector Plans) and in cross-national monitoring and assessment exercises, such as UNESCO's annually published Global Education Monitoring (GEM) Report where information is assembled for governments, organizations and citizens to hold each other accountable. This follow on project is for research augmentation to achieve three further key outcomes: i) To compile information in the dashboard across a range of national contexts ii) To develop a composite indicator of gender equality in education based on this to assist international comparisons and benchmarkingiii) For technical work on visualizations (representations in striking visual form) and translations for national planners to make the AGEE dashboard more user friendly for practitioners.
