Manos Antoninis has been director of the Global Education Monitoring Report at Unesco since 2017, but has been a member of the report team since 2011. The report is an editorially independent, evidence-based annual report published by Unesco, whose mandate is to monitor progress towards the education targets in the new UN Sustainable Development Goals. From Greece, Manos’ prior experience is as a monitoring and evaluation expert in education sector projects in Bangladesh, China, Nigeria, Pakistan and Indonesia. His PhD was a study of technical education and the labour market in Egypt, completed at the Centre for the Study of African Economies of the University of Oxford.
