Cracking The Code: Girls’ and Women’s Education in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Year of publication: 2017 Corporate author: UNESCO Despite significant improvements in recent decades, education is not universally available and gender inequalities persist. A major concern in many countriesis not only limited numbers of girls going to school, but also limited educational pathways for those that step into the classroom. This includes, more specifically,how to address the lower participation and learning achievement of girls in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education. STEM underpins the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, and STEM education can provide learners with the knowledge, skills, attitudes and behavioursrequired for inclusive and sustainable societies. Leaving out girls and women in STEM education and careers is a loss for all. This report aims to ‘crack the code’, or to decipher the factors that hinder or facilitate girls’ and women’s participation, achievement and continuation in STEMeducation, and what can be done by the education sector to promote girls’ and women’s interest in, and engagement with, STEM. Déchiffrer le Code: L'Éducation des Filles et des Femmes aux Sciences, Technologie, Ingénierie et Mathématiques (STEM) Year of publication: 2017 Corporate author: Organisation des Nations Unies pour l'éducation, la science et la culture (UNESCO) Malgrédes améiorations notables ces dernièes déennies, l’éucation n’est pas universellement disponible et les inéalité entre les genres persistent, souvent en déaveur des filles. Des facteurs socio-culturels et éonomiques complexes et lié entre eux pèent non seulement sur les possibilité de scolarisation des filles mais aussi sur la qualitéde l’éucation qu’elles recevront, les éudes qu’elles suivront et, au bout du chemin, leurs carrièes et leurs parcours de vie. Une préccupation majeure tient àla faiblesse de la participation et des réultats des filles dans les éudes de sciences, technologie, ingéierie et mathéatiques (STEM). Les STEM sous-tendent le Programme de déeloppement durable àl’horizon 2030 et l’éucation aux STEM peut apporter aux apprenants les connaissances, les compéences et les comportements néessaires àdes sociéé inclusives et durables. Laisser les filles et les femmes àl’éart de l’éucation et des professions des STEM non seulement les prive de la possibilitéde contribuer aux STEM et d’en bééicier, mais aussi perpéue le fosséentre les sexes et, plus gééalement, les inéalité sociales et éonomiques. Le présent rapport vise à« déhiffrer le code » en déryptant les facteurs qui entravent ou facilitent la participation, la réssite et la réention des filles et des femmes dans l’éucation aux STEM et, en particulier, ce que peut faire le secteur de l’éucation pour promouvoir l’intéê et l’engagement des filles et des femmes dans l’éucation aux STEM et finalement dans les carrièes des STEM. Il entend constituer une ressource pour les parties prenantes de l’éucation et autres personnes qui travaillent àpromouvoir l’éalitédes genres.

Education Transforms Lives Year of publication: 2017 Corporate author: UNESCO This brochure explores UNESCO’s role in leading and coordinating the Education 2030 Agenda, which is part of a global movement to eradicate poverty through 17 Sustainable Development Goals by 2030. Education, essential to achieve all of these goals, has its own dedicated Goal 4, which aims to “ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all”. UNESCO is the United Nations’ specialized agency for education and the Education Sector provides global and regional leadership in education and responds to contemporary global challenges through education with a special focus on gender equality and Africa. L’éducation transforme la vie Year of publication: 2017 Corporate author: Organisation des Nations Unies pour l'éducation, la science et la culture (UNESCO) Grâce au nouveau Programme audacieux de développement durable entériné par la communauté internationale en septembre 2015, le monde s’est fixé pour objectif d’éradiquer la pauvreté à l’horizon 2030 à travers 17 Objectifs de développement durable (ODD). Ces objectifs ambitieux ont été adoptés à l’unanimité par les 193 États membres de l’Organisation des Nations Unies. C’est à ces derniers qu’incombe en premier lieu la responsabilité de les réaliser. L’éducation, cruciale pour atteindre l’ensemble des ODD, bénéficie d’un objectif dédié, l’ODD 4, visant à « assurer l’accès de tous à une éducation de qualité, sur un pied d’égalité, et promouvoir les possibilités d’apprentissage tout au long de la vie ».L’UNESCO est la seule agence des Nations Unies chargée de tous les aspects de l’éducation et possède également un réseau mondial d’instituts et de bureaux spécialisés. C’est pourquoi elle s’est vue confier la direction et la coordination de cet objectif, aux côtés de ses partenaires, par le biais de l’agenda Éducation 2030. 
Education Transforms Lives Year of publication: 2013 Corporate author: UNESCO Education lights every stage of the journey to a better life, especially for the poor and the most vulnerable. Education’s unique power to act as a catalyst for wider development goals can only be fully realized, however, if it is equitable. That means making special efforts to ensure that all children and young people – regardless of their family income, where they live, their gender, their ethnicity, whether they are disabled – can benefit equally from its transformative power. Education empowers girls and young women, in particular, by increasing their chances of getting jobs, staying healthy and participating fully in society – and it boosts their children’s chances of leading healthy lives. To unlock the wider benefits of education, all children need the chance to complete not only primary school but also lower secondary school. And access to schooling is not enough on its own: education needs to be of good quality so that children actually learn. Given education’s transformative power, it needs to be a central part of any post-2015 global development framework.
