2025 Central and Eastern Europe, the Caucasus, and Central Asia

Lead for inclusion

Building on the theme of the 2024/5 Global Education Monitoring (GEM) Report on leadership in education, the GEM Report has partnered with the Network of Education Policy Centres (NEPCs) on the 2025 Central and Eastern Europe, Caucasus and Central Asia regional edition on leadership and inclusion.

Based on the approach of the 2024/5 GEM Report and the expertise of the partner organizations and contributors, the Report provides comparative analysis on leadership practices for inclusive education based on information collected across education systems including eight in-depth country studies (Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Estonia, Georgia, Kyrgyzstan, Republic of Moldova, Poland, Slovenia). The Report provides evidence-based recommendations for governments and other key education stakeholders to strengthen inclusion and SDG 4 implementation in policies across the region.
