The 2020 UNESCO Global Education Monitoring Report
COVID-19 is a serious threat to aid to education recovery – launch of the GEM Report’s annual paper on aid to education.
A new policy paper by the GEM Report shows that total aid to education reached its highest ever levels in 2018, the latest available year. However, it estimates that global aid is likely to decline by up to US$2 billion from 2018 to 2022 as a result of recession caused by COVID-19, entailing a 12% drop in international support for education.
The paper, COVID-19 is a serious threat to aid to education recovery, calls for donors to provide flexible funding so that support to the sector can be realigned and help countries get back on track.

Produced in collaboration with regional partners the publication will provide accurate and impartial analyses and forecasts on basic education. The Spotlight Report series seeks to inform national education policy making and improve donor alignment in support of country education needs.
