What does the task force aim to
accomplish?
Build consensus among the global education community:
practitioners, policymakers, key influencers, academia,
donors, civil society, regional actors, etc.
Develop concrete recommendations for measuring
learning at the global and national levels
Work to ensure recommendations are incorporated into
post-2015 MDG and EFA goals, the UNSG’s Education
First initiative, and national frameworks
Long-term goal: Shift the conversation on education
from access to access plus learning, and improve
learning outcomes for children and youth
Core Project Questions
The task force engages high-level political actors,
technical experts and practitioners in a year-long global
consultation process in order to build consensus around
three questions:
1.What learning is important for all children and youth?
2.How should learning outcomes be measured?
3.How can measurement of learning improve education
quality?

The Consultation Process
Any effort to develop a shared vision for global
learning goals and targets must be open, inclusive,
and transparent.
The task force seeks input from a wide variety of
stakeholders through a global consultation process
to be conducted both online and in person.
The objectives of the consultation process are to:
•Engage a diverse group of actors at the political, technical, and field
levels to build global consensus around learning outcomes and achieve
maximum efficacy and impact.
•Take into account adaptability and applicability to specific contexts and
compile feedback and input to inform the final recommendations of the
task force.
Phase 1 Consultation Results
In Phase 1, the Standards Working Group convened from May
– October 2012 to make recommendations for what learning is
important globally. The prototype recommendations were
released for public consultation in August – September 2012.
The task force received feedback from more than 500
individuals in 57 countries.
Based on that feedback, a draft framework was developed and
presented to the task force at in September 2012. The results
of the Phase 1 consultation period and the revised standards
framework are available online at
http://www.brookings.edu/about/centers/universaleducation/learning-metrics-task-force/consultation.
