Abstract

This commentary discusses the limitations that Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG4) has encountered as a result of power struggles between UNESCO and the OECD in the monitoring and making of global learning metrics for SDG4. The IOs strive to maintain or extend their authority and autonomy by claiming and controlling technical expertise, data and information. Both UNECO and the OECD seek to claim their legitimacy by fixing and spreading what learning means and counts in the SDG4 context, whilst efforts to monitor and measure SDG4 take second place and become fragmented.
