Conceptual framework
Based on the 4A framework – Availability, Accessibility, Acceptability and Adaptability
Intended to be comprehensive (200) – covering all aspects of the right to education to reach development practitioners
Incorporates 3 themes of non-discrimination (disaggregation), participation (people should have a voice in education planning) & accountability (a governance matrix was added)
Designed to consider progressive realisation over time

Indicator Achievements
A comprehensive & flexible set of 200 indicators, based on the 4A framework
A collaborative process, involving a wide range of stakeholders

The Lessons1. Structure & size of the indicator framework2. Guidance needed on adapting indicators to national/
thematic contexts or education levels3. Guidance on implementing the full monitoring
process aimed at non-legal practitioners, including HR law, data sourcing, data collecting (incl methodology), report writing, developing recommendations for advocacy….
4. A participatory approach leads to local ownership and greater success; as does flexibility with development practitioners
