Glossary
 Change language to 
The UIS Glossary contains Education terms in English, French, Spanish, and Arabic. For some terms, only the name translation is available while for others (e.g. indicators) there is more information. Indicators are marked with an asterisk (*).

This Glossary is intended to be a dynamic document, i.e. it will be updated as new terms or indicators are used in UIS publications, and if corrections are made to the existing terms. In order to enrich the Glossary and to improve its quality, the users are invited to send their comments and suggestions to the following focal point: Said Belkachla, s.belkachla@uis.unesco.org
