It looks at the visions and goals that are driving leadership in education and examines the extent and through what practices the exercise of leadership contributes to better education outcomes. External factors including social, cultural, governance conditions are looked at to see how they impact on effective leadership, as well as the policy levers that can be used to develop leadership skills in different contexts.

The launch of the UNESCO GEM Report is co-organized by the University of Oulu in collaboration with the UNESCO Global Education Monitoring Report Team, the Finnish Ministry of Education and Culture, the Finnish University Partnership for International Development (UniPID) and the Finnish National Commission for UNESCO.

This event provides an opportunity to review and discuss progress towards SDG Goal 4 both at the national and international level. The event also provides an opportunity to discuss not only about the role of school leaders and pedagogical leadership, but also about the leadership skills as part of teachers’ competences.
