As a leading global agency responsible for producing cross-nationally comparable data in education, science, culture, and communication, the UIS plays a key role in driving policies and investments for global development.

As a Secretariat Support Consultant, your main objective will be to coordinate and manage the ISCED Committee meetings and associated documentation.

• Support the preparation of ISCED Committee reports as required.

This consultancy will follow a timeline with specific deliverables, including the establishment of the ISCED Committee, document provision, committee meetings, report drafting, and finalization. The project is expected to conclude by May 2024, with either a recommendation for a revision of the classifications or recommendations for further improvements in quality assurance mechanisms, classification of national education programs, peer review mechanisms, operational manual amendments, and modifications to fields of education and training.

If you have excellent coordination and organizational skills, attention to detail, and a passion for education data and international collaboration, we invite you to apply. Join our team and contribute to the UNESCO Institute for Statistics’ mission of fostering informed decision-making and progress towards global development goals.
