In accordance with SDG 4.7, countries are promoting GCED and other related aspects. As monitoring and assessment of learners’ global citizenship competences (GCC) are perceived as crucial to strengthen GCED implementation, APCEIU sees a great need for more refined constructs, metrics and assessment tools for GCC measurement. In order to address these issues, this project aims to lay the foundation (Phase I) for developing the framework, with a set of suggested assessment tools (Phase II), for the monitoring of GC competencies in the Asia-Pacific region.
