Dear Minister X:I am writing to express my concern that our Ministry of Education currently does not produce a comprehensive, regular national education monitoring report. The 2017/8 Global Education Monitoring Report shows that national education monitoring reports are a vital tool for transparency and accountability in education, and an instrument through which governments capture progress on education commitments to report it to their citizens. National monitoring reports should provide timely and relevant information on whether progress is being made towards our national education objectives. Monitoring reports can interpret evidence, identify problems to support decisions and follow-up actions, and provide the basis for evaluation. When the assignment of responsibilities and the links between inputs and results is clear, they also serve as an accountability mechanism. In addition, citizens need a regular report on the implementation of the national education plan to be able to hold government to account. Such a document can demonstrate your commitment to transparency and to communicating government expenditure, activities and results in an accessible manner.As Minister of Education, I urge you to take immediate action to:take steps towards producing a regular national education monitoring report, capturing progress on education commitments across all education levels, and government education expenditure; make reports publicly available to citizens, and share these with UNESCO’s GEM Report for publication online; use the national education monitoring report as a key source for the education section of the SDG national voluntary review. I request that you take all necessary steps to ensure that transparency and accountability is at the heart of our national education system. Thank you very much for your consideration.Sincerely yours, ................
