The objective of this TC is to improve the collection, analysis, and dissemination of education statistics that lead to high quality evaluations, conduct advanced research to promote the education reforms the region needs, and improve policy making. Furthermore, the activities within this TC will set the foundations for the development of a center in the region to assume this role. The implementation strategy of the TC will be to sequentially develop within the Bank key functions of the center, design the organization of the center, and ensure its sustainability by building a regional consensus about its importance for the region and develop national and international partnerships. These key functions include: the creation of an IDB Education Data Warehouse, an Education Statistics Portal, and the publication of a report about ¿the state of the education in LAC¿. Overall, the goal is to establish the leading role of the Bank in addressing the need for comprehensive, up-to-date data and analyses of the region¿s education systems.
