Inclusive Education for Persons with Disabilities - Are We Making Progress? Year of publication: 2019 Corporate author: UNESCO | Leonard Cheshire (UK) The paper ‘Inclusive education for persons with disabilities – Are we making progress?’ has been developed as a background paper for the UNESCO International Forum on inclusion and equity in education – Every learner matters, being held in Cali, Colombia from 11-13 September 2019. The Forum is being organised in commemoration of the 25th anniversary of the passing of the Salamanca Statement and Framework for Action. The paper will explore the global progress towards inclusive education, the successes achieved and learnings observed specifically in countries of the global South. In these countries the concerns of universal access to and retention in education is still a concern for many governments, but large-scale exclusion of children with disabilities (an estimated 32 million or 1 out of 3 are out of school) remains the order of the day and is not always high on government agendas.

Early childhood care and education and education for sustainable development & global citizenship Year of publication: 2019 Corporate author: UNESCO This document brings together the responses to a survey on Early Childhood Care and Education in the context of Education for Sustainable Development and Global Citizenship, initiated by GAP Partner Network 3 on educators, in the framework of preparing the UNESCO 2019 Forum. Key findings A majority of respondents recommend better cooperation, both in sharing of educational resources and in general, between early childhood structures and GAP Key Partners. According to them, the best way to transmit values and teach ESD to children is through play. This must be done in a fun way, in contact with nature. Concerning training, practical and continuous training of childcare educators is requested and recommended. This should facilitate the integration of ESD and global citizenship, as well as provide insights for enhancing the content of teacher education.
