Abstract: The mandate of the UNESCO International Institute for Educational Planning (IIEP-UNESCO) is to strengthen the educational planning and management capacity of UNESCO Member States. It does so through training, technical cooperation and research, and working with education planners worldwide. As education systems are faced with complexity, technology, and uncertainty, a review of the competencies and skills used by education professionals can help to design and implement better policies, plans and programmes. IIEP has developed a competency framework for educational planning and management to guide the training offer of the new IIEP-UNESCO Global Campus. To inform the design of the framework, IIEP undertook a literature scan of relevant competency frameworks in 13 countries and territories and a review of the relevant secondary literature. An internal co-design workshop was then organized with staff from its three offices to define and shape the main elements of the framework. The IIEP competency framework proposes three sets of technical, relational and strategic competencies and ten areas of competencies to design and implement education policies or plans. This framework can be useful for education policy planners and national training institutions working in educational planning and management at national, regional, or local level. It can also guide the work of professionals and be used in the training, selection or recruitment of staff.
