MLE Assessment Framework • Determine common metrics to monitor, evaluate, and report
on the impact of multilingual education (MLE) programs on improving educational attainment of ethnolinguistic communities. ▫ The development of this framework should be coordinated
and incorporated with existing reporting processes tracking progress on EFA/MDGs.
▫ It should also provide a vehicle for comparative assessment of various models and approaches to MLE in order to fuel innovation, accountability, and good practice across agencies and contexts.
