The Global Education Monitoring Report (GEM Report) is an editorially independent, authoritative and evidence-based annual report hosted and published by UNESCO since 2002. Drawing its current mandate from the Incheon Declaration at the World Education Forum and the Education 2030 Framework for Action, it is the international community’s tool for monitoring and reporting on: • Progress towards the education targets in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) adopted by the United Nations Member States in September 2015 • The implementation of national and international strategies aimed at contributing to the achievement of SDG 4, the global education goal. The next three reports, named Countdown to 2030, will be based on a review of progress on selected SDG 4 indicators, with particular emphasis on SDG 4 benchmark indicators, focusing on countries that have improved faster than their peers over the course of the past 15-20 years and countries that have stagnated or reversed. Complementing the Countdown to 2030 series global reports, the Global Education Monitoring (GEM) Report aims to prepare a regional edition on early childhood education (ECE) participation in the Arab States, in collaboration with the UNICEF Middle East and North Africa Regional Office. The regional edition will be built upon country case study studies demonstrating efforts to overcome the respective challenges and leading to tailored messages and recommendations. The GEM Report is looking for a legal entity to produce a comprehensive case study on early childhood education in Morocco documenting trends in participation since 2000, identifying key policy and non-policy drivers of change, and analyzing factors that facilitated or hindered progress. The case study will explore the socio-cultural, economic, and institutional context, examine implemented interventions, assess their effectiveness and sustainability, and highlight remaining barriers and current policy debates.
