Gain the skills needed for Education 2030

17 October 2019

At IIEP-UNESCO, our training objective is to equip ministries of education and their partners with the skills and leadership needed to achieve equitable, inclusive, and quality education for all.  

As part of this, we are pleased to announce that applications are now open for the 2020 session of the Specialized Courses Programme (SCP). 


The SCP includes a series of intensive, two-week courses on the latest innovations and knowledge on planning and management for stronger education systems. Participants can take up to three courses during the session, which will start in April 2020. All of the courses are held at IIEP-UNESCO in Paris, France, in both English and French. 

This year, courses will cover a range of subjects, including how to use learning assessment data for Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG 4), policies for effective teacher management, how to design an education programme and project, plus others. 

SCP participants can also apply their credits to the six-month Education Sector Planning programme or the one-year Advanced Training Programme, which is our Master’s-level course. 

Application details 

Our SCP programme has rolling submission. However, we encourage you to apply as quickly as possible as there is limited space. In addition, the tuition must be paid by February 2020. More in-depth information can be found here
