Reported impact
Business outcome
UNESCO gained a working agentic-AI approach for turning large education datasets into accessible policy insight, with support for open-source reuse and broader evidence-based decision-making across countries.
- Productivity Improvement
- Scalability
Solution
UNESCO worked with Capgemini and AWS to build an agentic AI education-policy assistant around the PIRLS 2021 reading-literacy dataset. The project used the Global Data Science Challenge as a development engine: nearly 1,500 participants created and tested large-language-model systems that could analyze structured assessment data and answer detailed policy questions about learning trends, student performance, and teaching practices. The winning insAIghtED architecture combines multiple agents—a lead analyst, data engineer, chart preparer, and data scientist—to query PIRLS data, pull in supporting sources such as GDP, population, and life-expectancy data, and return visualizations plus narrative explanations. Amazon Bedrock and SageMaker supported model development, while LangChain and crewAI coordinated multi-agent reasoning so policymakers can move from raw data to evidence-backed recommendations more quickly.
Data flow
PIRLS 2021 assessment data and supplemental public datasets such as GDP, population, and life expectancy are queried by coordinated agents that aggregate, analyze, and visualize the information. Amazon Bedrock and Amazon SageMaker provide the model layer, while LangChain and crewAI orchestrate reasoning so the system can return charts, short answers, and fuller explanations for policy users.
