Accountability in Education: 2017/18 – Meeting our Commitments
The term
accountability draws meaning from context – its interaction with other words in the culture in which it plays a more or less central and often controversial role. People around the world, and the media in particular, describe
education as in crisis. Various social, political, economic and cultural trends have shifted education policy towards a greater emphasis on
accountability. In this
Global Education Monitoring Report,
UNESCO defines
accountability as a process aimed at helping individuals or institutions meet their responsibilities and reach their goals. It suggests that problems characterized by a crisis narrative vary widely among countries, and calls on actors to provide an account of how they meet clearly defined responsibilities, based on a legal, political, social or moral justification.
