Education, Identity and Rising Extremism: From Preventing Violent Extremism to Promoting Peace, Resilience, Equal Rights and Pluralism (PREP) Year of publication: 2017 Author: Sanam Anderlini Corporate author: International Civil Society Action Network In November 2016, during ICAN’s fifth annual Women, Peace and Security forum, members of the Women’s Alliance for Security Leadership (WASL) and other women-led organizations in over 30 countries analyzed the role of formal and informal education in contributing to enabling conditions and mitigating extremist violence. They also highlighted their own practical experiences and lessons learnt in providing education to prevent violent extremism by fostering peace, resilience, equal rights and pluralism (PREP) in formal and informal spaces, including through the teachings of alternative religious narratives. Their experiences, combined with desk research on the state of current policy and practice, and the first multi-stakeholder Global Solutions Exchange (GSX) meeting on the nexus of education, gender and extremism held at the UNESCO headquarters in Paris in March 2017, inform the findings of this report. التعليم والهوية ومنع التطرف: من منع التطرف العنيف إلى تعزيز السالم والصمود والمساواة في الحقوق والتعددية )PREP) Year of publication: 2017 Author: Sanam Anderlini Corporate author: International Civil Society Action Network فـي تشـرين الثانـي / نوفمبـر 2016 ، خـال منتـدى ايـكان ICAN السـنوي الخامـس للمـرأة والسـام واألمـن ، قــام أعضــاء التحالــف النســائي مــن أجــل القيــادة األمنيــة )وصــل( وغيرهــا مــن المنظمــات التــي تقودهــا النســاء فــي أكثــر مــن 30 دولــة بتحليــل دور التعليــم الرســمي وغيــر الرســمي فــي المســاهمة فــي تمكيــن الظـروف و تخفيـف العنـف المتطرف.كمـا قامـوا بتسـليط الضـوء علـى تجاربهـم العمليـة الخاصـة والـدروس المســتفادة مــن توفيــر التعليــم لمنــع التطــرف العنيــف مــن خــال تعزيــز الســام والصمــود والمســاواة فــي الحقـوق والتعدديـة )PREP )فـي المسـاحات الرسـمية وغيـر الرسـمية، بمـا فـي ذلـك مـن خـال تعاليـم بديلـة إلـى جنـب مع األبحـاث المكتبيـة حـول حالـة السياسـات والممارسـات للروايـات الدينيـة.إن تجاربهـم، جنبـا الحاليــة، وأول اجتماع للمنصــة العالميــة لتبــادل الحلــول )GSX ) حــول العالقــة بيــن التعليــم والجنــدر والتطـرف الـذي عقـد فـي مقـر اليونسـكو فـي باريـس فـي مـارس 2017 ، تقـوم بإبـاغ نتائج هـذا التقريـر . 
Asia-Pacific Education 2030: SDG 4 Midterm Review Year of publication: 2024 Corporate author: UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS) | UNESCO Bangkok This publication marks the conclusion of the collaborative national midterm reviews of SDG 4 achievement in the Asia-Pacific. More importantly, it represents the beginning of the final sprint to the 2030 finish line. It also serves as a comprehensive analytical and policymaking tool for all stakeholders in the region to reflect and be better prepared for the second half of the journey. At the midway point of implementing the Education 2030 Agenda, we are observing both challenges and progress in achieving Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG 4) in the Asia-Pacific. The region, overall, has made advances in reaching the globally and regionally most important targets under SDG 4, yet it is still far from delivering the common commitment of the Education 2030 Agenda, to ‘ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all’. Eight years into implementation, the Asia-Pacific has shown progress, especially in improving access to lower levels of basic education, as well as expanding early childhood education (ECE). Across most subregions of Asia and the Pacific, over 95% of primary school students complete primary education within the expected timeframe, while more than 80% of children one year before the official primary entry age are enrolled in organized early childhood education. However, participation in education is only one part of the puzzle, and the quality of learning, evidenced by limited data for the Asia-Pacific region on learning outcomes, remains concerning. More than half of students in Eastern and South-Eastern Asia do not reach the minimum proficiency level in mathematics at the end of lower secondary education. Overall and from a regional perspective, with priorities having accelerated in ECE, primary education reaching universal participation, and higher education being consistently regarded as prestigious to accomplish, secondary education is currently the weakest link apart from the chronically undervalued technical vocational education and training path. Fulfilling our commitment to the Education 2030 Agenda and leaving no one behind is not an easy endeavour and we need everyone on board in this unprecedented, yet necessary feat. This publication is meant to facilitate taking stock of the current situation and accelerate focused advances on the most relevant education topics for the Asia-Pacific region.

Beyond COVID-19: A Feminist Plan for Sustainability and Social Justice Year of publication: 2021 Corporate author: United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women (UN Women) As the world learns to live with COVID-19, to emerge from the current crisis, and to “build back better”, UN Women’s new Feminist Plan for Sustainability and Social Justice is a visionary but practical roadmap for putting gender equality, social justice, and sustainability at the centre of the recovery. The Feminist Plan maps the ambitious and transformative policies – on livelihoods, care, and the environment – that are needed to build a more equal and sustainable future. To get there, calls for context-specific policy pathways, tailored political strategies, and financing. The plan identifies key levers that can create change and the actors at global, national, local levels that need to take action to move towards this vision.
