Wikipedia Education Programs are making a positive impact on Wikipedia, and we are collecting the numbers to prove it. This dashboard will collect and publish numbers from education programs around the world. The idea is to quantify and document the impact that Wikipedia Education Programs have on the projects. For historical program data, please see the Wikipedia Education Program Summary Information page.
Global program data
In order to paint a more accurate picture of educational initiatives and activities around the world, the Wikipedia Education Program aims to collect some basic data about these global programs. The idea is to look at on-wiki impact and tell a data-driven story for education.
While collecting numbers in one central location makes it easy to get a global snapshot of activity around the world, the idea is not to directly compare programs against each other.
In an effort to collect consistent data, the metrics below are matched with their numbered equivalents in the Tracking and Reporting Toolkit (TRT) in the Evaluation portal on Meta wiki.
Metrics
There are two categories of metrics that we track for education programs: education metrics and global metrics. These metrics are a way to gauge program participation, content creation, diversity, and learning.
General program information
Academic terms around the world vary in duration. Without this information, we cannot accurately compare contributions from place to place.
Education metrics
The following "education metrics" are intended to provide a standardized way of tracking a few key measures of impact on goals specific to education.
- Number of instructors [3]
- Number of instructor editors [4]
- Number of students [5]
- Number of volunteers [6]
- Number of admins/sysops [7]
- Number of classes [8]
- Number of faculties [9]
- Number of institutions [10]
Global metrics
The following "global metrics" are designed to provide a standardized way of tracking a few key measures of progress towards our strategic goals for content and participation.
- Number of active editors involved [11]
- Number of newly registered users [12]
- Number of individuals involved [13]
- Number of media files uploaded [14]
- Number of articles created or improved [15]
- Number of bytes added/deleted [16]
Diversity metrics
- Number of female instructors
- Number of female students
- Number of female program volunteers
- Number of female program leaders

Submit your numbers
Please submit your numbers to this online spreadsheet. Please refrain from editing numbers already submitted by other volunteers or programs unless you are affiliated with that program and are updating or correcting the data.
