As the statistical branch of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO), the Institute for Statistics (UIS) produces cross-nationally comparable statistics on education, science and technology, culture, and communication for more than 200 countries and territories.

Main Topics:
• Out-of-school children

• Participation
• Progression
• Completion
• Literacy
• Educational attainment
• International student mobility in tertiary education
• Human resources
• Financial resources
• School resources and teaching conditions (Africa only)

• Disparities in teacher's training, deployment, characteristics and working conditions at sub-national level (East and South West Asia only).
