As requested by Member States, the UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS) is leading the review of the International  Standard Classification of Education (ISCED). A global Technical Advisory Panel was established to provide guidance on the review strategy, take part in consultations and make recommendations for revisions of the current standard.

To ensure that the key proposals for revising ISCED are applicable to all regions, in the fall of 2009 and spring of 2010 the UIS will organise a series of technical meetings in the following regions: Asia-Pacific, the Arab States, Sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean, as well as one for OECD and European Union countries (in conjunction with the OECD and Eurostat). The technical meeting for Sub-Saharan Africa will be held at the UNESCO Office in Nairobi from 22 to 23 November 2009.
