Monitoring progress toward Sustainable Development Goal 4 for education (SDG 4) is crucial to ensuring that children around the world have access to a quality education where they can learn and gain the skills they need to meet their full potential. SDG 4 indicators are organized with a view to global, thematic, regional and national targets.

This report by the UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS) is the first in a series intended to bring a regional focus to SDG 4 monitoring, highlight the work being done in the regions and compare SDG 4 targets with those established by regional bodies.

This new series of regional reports serve two purposes. Firstly, to map regional and SDG 4 targets to provide an overview of the symmetries between the two. Continental Overview: Bridging CESA and SDG 4 in Africa looks at how the strategic objectives of the Continental Education Strategy for Africa (CESA) compares with SDG 4 targets. Secondly, it analyses progress towards these objectives by African sub-regions.
