[Summary] Global Education Monitoring Report Summary 2019: Migration, Displacement and Education: Building Bridges, Not Walls Year of publication: 2018 Corporate author: UNESCO | Global Education Monitoring Report Team This Report points directly to a major challenge: How can teachers be supported to practise inclusion? It offers us fascinating insights into humanity and the age-old phenomenon of migration. I invite you to consider its recommendations and to act on them. This report is a vital toolkit for these compacts. It covers policy issues that address seasonal migrants, rural school consolidation, intercultural curricula, refugee inclusion in national education systems and elimination of segregation, qualifications recognition, targeting of school funding, more effective humanitarian education aid and teacher preparedness for diverse classrooms in emergency, protracted and “new normal” contexts. This summary of the 2019 GEM Report calls on countries to see education as a tool to manage migration and displacement and an opportunity for those needing one. 
Global Education Monitoring Report 2020: Inclusion and Education; All Means All Year of publication: 2020 Corporate author: Global Education Monitoring Report Team | UNESCO The 2020 Global Education Monitoring Report looks at social, economic and cultural mechanisms that discriminate against disadvantaged children, youth and adults, keeping them out of education or marginalized in it. Spurred by their commitment to fulfil the right to inclusive education, countries are expanding their vision of inclusion in education to put diversity at the core of their systems. Yet implementation of well-meaning laws and policies often falters. Released at the start of the decade of action to 2030, and in the middle of the Covid-19 crisis, which has exacerbated underlying inequalities, the Report argues that resistance to addressing every learner’s needs is a real threat to achieving global education targets. Inclusion and education: All means all identifies the practices in governance and finance; curricula, textbooks and assessments; teacher education; school infrastructure; and relations with students, parents and communities that can unlock the process to inclusion. It provides policy recommendations to make learner diversity a strength to be celebrated, a force for social cohesion. Two new websites complement the fourth edition of the Global Education Monitoring Report. PEER describes how countries approach inclusion, serving as a resource for policy dialogue. SCOPE offers an opportunity to interact with the data and explore selected SDG 4 indicators. 
Let's work together: education has a key role in helping achieve the Sustainable Development Goals Year of publication: 2019 Corporate author: Global Education Monitoring Report Team This publication has been produced on the occasion of the 2019 High-level Political Forum by the Global Eduation Monitoring Report. It draws upon findings from reports produced since 2015, showing the importance of education for the other goals in the 2030 agenda for sustainable development and calling for sectors to work together to achieve their aims. 
Education for People and Planet: Creating Sustainable Futures for All, Global Education Monitoring Report, 2016 Year of publication: 2016 Corporate author: UNESCO | Global Education Monitoring Report Team Education for People and Planet: Creating Sustainable Futures for All explores the complex relationship between education and the new 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, covering six fundamental pillars – Planet, Prosperity, People, Peace, Place and Partnerships. This report shows that education will not deliver its full potential unless participation rates increase dramatically and sustainable development guides education system reform. It also warns of the destructive impact that climate change, conflict, unsustainable consumption and the increasing gap between rich and poor have on education. A huge transformation is needed if we are to create sustainable futures for all. 
Beyond commitments 2019: how countries implement SDG 4 Year of publication: 2019 Corporate author: Global Education Monitoring Report Team Almost one-third of the time set to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) has elapsed. The 2019 High-level Political Forum (HLPF), the global SDG follow-up and review mechanism, represents a major stock-taking moment for countries, especially as regards SDG 4, the education goal, which is being reviewed for the first time. The international community relies primarily on quantitative measures to assess progress towards the SDGs. Acompanion publication by the UNESCO Institute for Statistics and the Global Education Monitoring Report for the 2019 HLPF, titled ‘Meeting commitments: Are countries on track to achieve SDG 4?’, shows that there are major challenges ahead. But increasingly, member states demand more than quantitative information. They ask for guidance on how to respond when their education systems do not reach their targets. To respond to this demand, this publication has the following purposes: Understand countries’ perceptions of SDG 4 based on responses to a questionnaire prepared for this publication, which asked countries to report on their flagship SDG 4 policies Distil those perceptions into a framework of the types of national policies that are best aligned with SDG 4 and whose implementation should be monitored Communicate the framework succinctly and provide a complementary input for the review of SDG 4 at the 2019 HLPF Provide an opportunity for countries to engage in dialogue on how they approach SDG 4. An analysis of the questionnaires submitted by 72 governments shows that most countries refer to SDG 4 as a framework in which they place their education planning. A core recommendation is that countries should align their education plans and policies with their international commitments. 
Meeting commitments: are countries on track to achieve SDG 4? Year of publication: 2019 Corporate author: UIS | Global Education Monitoring Report Team The world is a third of the way towards the deadline of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, which includes the fourth Sustainable Development Goal on education, SDG 4. But it is behind on its commitments. This joint publication by the UNESCO Institute for Statistics and the Global Education Monitoring Report for the 2019 High-level Political Forum on Sustainable Development captures concisely how far the world is from achieving its education targets. This is the year that the generation of students that should finish secondary school by 2030 should be entering school for the first time. Yet, in low-income countries, only 60% of children complete primary school, while in some regions the percentage of students who achieve minimum proficiency in reading is even falling. There is no denying that the world is off track. It is time to put an end to complacency. The international community relies on data to report on the SDG 4 monitoring framework to assess progress. While clear improvements have been made in data collection, data gaps remain a major concern. This publication makes a call for countries and their international development partners to coordinate and finance the collection of data to monitor and deliver on SDG 4. 
Gender Report 2020: A New Generation; 25 Years of Efforts for Gender Equality in Education (Global Education Monitoring Report) Year of publication: 2020 Corporate author: UNESCO | Global Education Monitoring Report Team Building on the 2020 Global Education Monitoring Report, this report investigates how inclusion in education can advance gender equality in and through education, which is critical to make progress towards gender equality in society. The goal of gender equality is, of course, not new. It was enshrined in the 1979 Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women and was at the core of the 1995 Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action, whose 25th anniversary is marked in 2020. 
Latin America and the Caribbean 2020: Inclusion and Education; All Means All (Global Education Monitoring Report) Year of publication: 2020 Corporate author: Global Education Monitoring Report Team | UNESCO | Laboratory of Education Research and Innovation for Latin America and the Caribbean (SUMMA) Latin America and the Caribbean has the largest and most challenging socio-economic inequalities in the world, which have shaped its education systems over the decades. This report looks at everyone both in and excluded from education in the region, pinpointing barriers facing learners, especially when multiple disadvantages intersect. The report also explores challenges in education posed by COVID-19 and the need for urgent action to prevent an exacerbation of inequalities. Produced by the Global Education Monitoring (GEM) Report team, in partnership with the UNESCO Regional Bureau for Education in Latin America and the Caribbean (OREALC) and the Laboratory of Education Research and Innovation for Latin America and the Caribbean (SUMMA), the report assesses key solutions for greater inclusion through several case studies from the region. It provides in-depth analysis on challenges to inclusion in education arising from migration and displacement in Colombia and Costa Rica; remoteness in Brazil and Suriname; disability in Cuba and Nicaragua; gender in Peru and Jamaica; sexual orientation, gender identity and expression in Chile and Mexico; poverty in the Dominican Republic and Honduras; ethnicity in Bolivia and Ecuador; and incarceration in El Salvador and Uruguay. Building on the 2020 Global Education Monitoring Report, this regional edition concludes that strong laws and policies in Latin America and the Caribbean demonstrate a commitment to inclusion, but that the daily realities faced by learners suggest implementation is lagging. Recommendations are aimed at promoting more inclusive education systems to benefit all children and youth, no matter their background, identity or ability. The recommendations provide a systematic framework for identifying and dismantling barriers for vulnerable populations, according to the principle that ‘every learner matters and matters equally’. 
Global Education Monitoring Report, 2021, Central and Eastern Europe, Caucasus and Central Asia: Inclusion and Education; All Means All Year of publication: 2021 Corporate author: Global Education Monitoring Report Team | European Agency for Special Needs and Inclusive Education | Network of Education Policy Centers Prepared by the Global Education Monitoring (GEM) Report, in partnership with the European Agency for Special Needs and Inclusive Education and the Network of Education Policy Centers, the regional report on inclusion and education in Central and Eastern Europe, the Caucasus and Central Asia offers a deep dive into the core challenges and key solutions. The region is working hard to overcome a legacy, whereby children with disabilities attended special schools, once wrongly regarded as an effective solution, segregated by type of disability, if not fully excluded from education.The report draws on in-depth profiles of 30 education systems in the region. It also presents the additional risks to inclusion now posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. Building on the 2020 Global Education Monitoring Report, it documents barriers facing learners, particularly where multiple disadvantages intersect. Its recommendations provide a systematic framework for identifying and dismantling these barriers, according to the principle that ‘every learner matters and matters equally’.
