UNESCO Data Portal

2024

This data portal from the UNESCO Institute for Statistics provides users with data surrounding key themes of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization – such as education, equity, and culture. Each theme has numerous associated indicators, which when selected, display country-level data in table format. This data can be exported into downloadable excel files. 

The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) has a multi-pronged approach to sustainable development, as the organization supports a wide range of initiatives. The organization is the only UN agency whose mandate covers all aspects of education and UNESCO provides leadership in education, strengthens educational systems worldwide, and responds to global education challenges through the lens of gender equality. UNESCO seeks to protect and promote culture and diversity through the establishment of world heritage sites. The organization assists international governments in investing in science and technology, developing science policies, and evaluating the ways scientific research can aid in a country’s development and sustainability practices. UNESCO accomplishes these tasks through partnerships with governments and international organizations, and through its field offices.
