  • SDG Goal Progress Signals (derived)

    SDG goal progress signals (2030-target progress velocity, on-track flags)

    Value-added UN Sustainable Development Goal progress signals: 10-year progress rates, cross-country improvement z-scores, naive drift projections to the 2030 deadline, and on-track/off-track flags for poverty, electricity access, safe drinking water, and maternal mortality across ~200 countries. All computation is local pandas/numpy; no paid models or APIs.

    School completion rates by country (UNESCO UIS)

    School completion rates (percent) by country/region and year, from the UNESCO Institute for Statistics (https://api.uis.unesco.org/api/public/data/indicators). Each row is one (year, area, indicator): the share of young people completing primary (CR.1), lower secondary (CR.2) and upper secondary (CR.3) education. Method: keyless UIS Data API v1; modelled series (CR.MOD.*) excluded. Units: percent. Caveats: survey-based and sparse for many countries; latest 1-2 years provisional and revised; regional aggregates have no iso3 code. Coverage: worldwide, 1990 to 2025, yearly granularity. Provenance: UNESCO Institute for Statistics, CC BY-SA 4.0 — please cite the UIS with the extraction date. Primary key: (indicator_id, area, year). Join keys: iso3 (ISO 3166-1 alpha-3), year. Cadence: refreshed yearly. Sample use: filter indicator_id='CR.2' to compare lower-secondary completion across countries.

  • UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS)

    Government education expenditure by level, % of GDP (UNESCO UIS)

    Government expenditure on education by level of education, as a percentage of GDP, by country/region and year, from the UNESCO Institute for Statistics (https://api.uis.unesco.org/api/public/data/indicators). Each row is one (year, area, indicator): pre-primary (XGDP.02.FSGOV), primary (XGDP.1.FSGOV), lower secondary (XGDP.2.FSGOV), upper secondary (XGDP.3.FSGOV), post-secondary non-tertiary (XGDP.4.FSGOV) and tertiary (XGDP.5T8.FSGOV) education. Summing the six levels approximates total public education spending as % of GDP. Method: keyless UIS Data API v1; rows with qualifier UIS_EST/NAT_EST are estimates. Units: percent of GDP. Caveats: secondary-level breakdowns start in 1997; some countries report only ministry-of-education spending, excluding other ministries; latest 1-2 years provisional and revised. Coverage: worldwide, 1970 to 2025 (1997+ for secondary levels), yearly granularity. Provenance: UNESCO Institute for Statistics, CC BY-SA 4.0 — please cite the UIS with the extraction date. Primary key: (indicator_id, area, year). Join keys: iso3 (ISO 3166-1 alpha-3), year. Cadence: refreshed yearly. Sample use: filter indicator_id='XGDP.5T8.FSGOV' to compare tertiary education spending across countries.

    Youth and adult literacy rates by country (UNESCO UIS)

    Youth and adult literacy rates (percent) by country/region and year, from the UNESCO Institute for Statistics (https://api.uis.unesco.org/api/public/data/indicators). Each row is one (year, area, indicator): the share of the age group able to read and write — youth 15-24 (LR.AG15T24), adults 15+ (LR.AG15T99), adults 25-64 (LR.AG25T64), and 65+ (LR.AG65T99). Method: keyless UIS Data API v1; modelled series (LR.GALP.*) excluded; rows with qualifier UIS_EST/NAT_EST are estimates. Units: percent. Caveats: survey-based and sparse for many countries; latest 1-2 years provisional and revised; regional aggregates have no iso3 code. Coverage: worldwide, 1970 to 2024, yearly granularity. Provenance: UNESCO Institute for Statistics, CC BY-SA 4.0 — please cite the UIS with the extraction date. Primary key: (indicator_id, area, year). Join keys: iso3 (ISO 3166-1 alpha-3), year. Cadence: refreshed yearly. Sample use: filter indicator_id='LR.AG15T99' and iso3='IND' to track adult literacy in India.

    Out-of-school rates by country (UNESCO UIS)

    Out-of-school rates (percent) by country/region and year, from the UNESCO Institute for Statistics (https://api.uis.unesco.org/api/public/data/indicators). Each row is one (year, area, indicator): the share of children of primary school age (ROFST.1.CP), adolescents of lower secondary school age (ROFST.2.CP) and youth of upper secondary school age (ROFST.3.CP) not enrolled in school, both sexes. Method: keyless UIS Data API v1; rows with qualifier UIS_EST/NAT_EST are estimates. Units: percent. Caveats: survey-based and sparse for many countries (especially pre-2000); latest 1-2 years provisional and revised; regional aggregates have no iso3 code. Coverage: worldwide, 1970 to 2025, yearly granularity. Provenance: UNESCO Institute for Statistics, CC BY-SA 4.0 — please cite the UIS with the extraction date. Primary key: (indicator_id, area, year). Join keys: iso3 (ISO 3166-1 alpha-3), year. Cadence: refreshed yearly.
