The report, called “” provides key findings about the current education data ecosystem globally and offers recommendations for how the international community can work together to close the digital data divide.

Under the leadership of co-chairs President Paul Kagame of Rwanda and Carlos Slim of the Carlos Slim Foundation and Grupo Carso, the Broadband Commission is a powerful advocacy body for universal connectivity. The Commission is comprised of some fifty global leaders and visionaries in ICT, representing all sectors and interests. UNESCO Director-General, Audrey Azoulay, and the Secretary-General of the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) serve as co vice-chairs. The two organizations are the founders of the Broadband Commission for Sustainable Development in 2010 with the joint vision of harnessing the power of broadband to fully connect the world. 

Since then, the Commission has convened seven Working Groups on the theme of education.For the past two years, 91�鶹������Ʒ���� chaired a Working Group on Data for Learning, which has met in monthly meetings to discuss the question: How can we harness the potential of data to drive the safe, inclusive, and equitable transformation of education? The discussions broke down the broad theme of education data into 3 dimensions: Infrastructure, capacities, and governance.  

Chaired by UNESCO’s Director-General, the Working Group promotes multistakeholder partnerships that advance impactful, ethical, sustainable applications of education data that benefit all learners. Drawing from nearly two years of discussions, the Working Group report and its accompanying “Job Board for Data Governance and Management in the Education Sector” are global public goods that contribute to our common understanding of how to close the digital data divide and improve data practices in education. 

The report takes the position that data for learning is a double-edged sword that hangs in a balance between benefits and risks. The potential power of leveraging data to improve learning is unevenly distributed around the world, resulting in global asymmetries related to data access, skills, and sovereignty. The Working Group report includes five recommendations to make the education data landscape less polarized and more equitable, ethical, and effective for learners everywhere.

This report helps to understand what the global community needs to do to build, reinforce, and maintain the data architectures that support safe and effective use of digital tools in education to improve lifelong learning for all.
