Contribution to the UNESCO International Institute on Educational Planning (IIEP)
For policy-makers, educational planning offers the path to implement education reform and system transformation. Planning is a strong support for evidence-based policy formulation, and an essential practice to translate political will into action and measurable results. IIEP has a strong experience and expertise to help ministries in charge of education transform their processes and operations to meet the challenges of a changing world.
