In these situations, you require concrete evidence and precise recommendations to shape future policies and initiatives effectively. The UNESCO-IESALC Policy Brief Series is a set of concise publications meets this demand by directly addressing the concerns of higher education policymakers.

  • An executive summary, providing the main findings and policy recommendations

  • A brief discussion of the context and the problem at stake 

  • policy analysis exploring policy options to address the problem, supported by examples
