Empowering children through quality education
UNICEF’s Evaluation function evaluates educational access and quality to help all children learn and thrive
Education is at the heart of UNICEF's mission to empower children. Our evaluations focus on improving educational access, quality, and inclusiveness. By examining teacher training programs, digital learning initiatives, and inclusive education models, we identify strategies that equip children with essential knowledge and skills. UNICEF emphasizes learning environments that foster creativity, social inclusion, and equality for marginalized communities.
Our evaluation efforts also assess how UNICEF supports education in emergency contexts. By evaluating learning recovery strategies during crises, we help ensure children can continue their education despite conflict, displacement, or natural disasters. Our evidence-based recommendations help governments and stakeholders strengthen education systems that prepare children for future success.
