2019: The International Year of Indigenous Languages (The UNESCO Courier. January-March 2019) Year of publication: 2019 Corporate author: UNESCO With the designation of 2019 as the International Year of Indigenous Languages (IYIL2019), officially launched at UNESCO on 28 January, the international community reaffirms its commitment to supporting indigenous peoples in their efforts to preserve their knowledge and enjoy their rights. Since the adoption of the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (link is external) by the United Nations General Assembly on 13 September 2007, considerable progress has been made in this regard. Nevertheless, indigenous peoples still have a long way to go before they emerge from marginalization and overcome the many obstacles they face. One-third of the world’s people living in extreme poverty belong to indigenous communities, just as in a number of countries, legislation that promotes the rights of indigenous peoples remains incompatible with other laws that deal with issues such as agriculture, land, conservation, forestry, mining and other industries, according to Victoria Tauli-Corpuz (link is external), United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. The Wide Angle section in this issue of the Courier is dedicated to these indigenous peoples. It takes its title from the Chinese proverb: “When you drink water, think of the source”, to remind us that indigenous knowledge, the source of all knowledge, deserve a prominent place in modernity. The issue also marks the celebration of International Mother Language Day (link is external), 21 February. 2019 : Année internationale des langues autochtones Year of publication: 2019 Corporate author: UNESCO À une époque où la tension ne cesse de croître, où les droits de l'homme, la liberté d'expression, la paix et l'avenir de la planète semblent plus que jamais remis en question, le pouvoir de transformation véhiculé par l'éducation revêt une importance cruciale.Avec la désignation de 2019 comme Année internationale des langues autochtones(IYIL2019), lancée officiellement à l’UNESCO le 28 janvier, la communauté internationale réaffirme sa volonté de soutenir les peuples autochtones dans leurs efforts de préserver leurs savoirs et de jouir de leurs droits.Depuis l’adoption de la Déclaration sur les droits des peuples autochtones, par l’Assemblée générale des Nations Unies, le 13 septembre 2007, des avancées considérables ont été faites dans ce sens. Il n’en reste pas moins que les peuples autochtones ont encore un long chemin à parcourir avant de sortir de la marginalisation et de surmonter les nombreux obstacles auxquels ils doivent faire face. Un tiers des personnes qui vivent dans l’extrême pauvreté à travers le monde appartiennent à des communautés autochtones, de même que dans un bon nombre de pays, les législations en faveur des peuples autochtones demeurent incompatibles avec d’autres lois qui traitent notamment de l’agriculture, de la terre, de la conservation et des industries forestières ou minières, selon Victoria Tauli-Corpuz, Rapporteuse spéciale des Nations Unies sur les droits des peuples autochtones. Le dossier Grand angle de ce numéro du Courrier leur est consacré. Il emprunte son titre au proverbe chinois : « Quand tu bois de l’eau, pense à la source », pour rappeler que les savoirs autochtones, source de tous les savoirs, méritent une place prééminente dans la modernité. Il s’associe également à la célébration de la Journée internationale de la langue maternelle, le 21 février. 
What Makes a Quality Curriculum?: In-Progress Reflection No.2 on Current and Critical Issues in Curriculum and Learning Year of publication: 2016 Author: Philip Stabback Corporate author: UNESCO International Bureau of Education (IBE) Sustainable Development Goal Four has to do with education in the post-2015 development agenda. It aims to “ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all”.Given the essential role of curriculum in enabling quality learning and in articulating and supporting education that is relevant to holistic development, our purpose in this paper is to identify what makes a quality curriculum, so as to support curricular innovation in UNESCO Member States to the end of the realization of Sustainable Development Goal Four.In this we are assuming that curriculum, given its essential role in the provision of quality learning for all children and young people, and in articulating and supporting education that is relevant to holistic development, is critical in the realization of SDG 4. It is the curriculum that determines to a large extent whether education is inclusive, thus playing a significant role in ensuring that provision is equitable. It is the curriculum that provides the structure for the provision of quality learning, especially where teachers might be under-qualified and inexperienced, their classrooms under-resourced, and their students lacking the prior frameworks within which to situate their learning. And it is the curriculum that articulates both the competencies necessary for lifelong learning and the competencies needed for holistic development.We thus argue that curriculum lies at the crossroads of these four key aspects of SDG 4: that education should be (1) inclusive and equitable, (2) characterized by quality learning, (3) promoting lifelong learning, and (4) relevant to holistic development. Curriculum, in other words, provides the bridge between education and development – and it is the competencies associated with lifelong learning and aligned with development needs, in the broadest, holistic sense of the term, that span that bridge. 
Content, Comprehensiveness and Coherence in Policies for Early Childhood: How the Curriculum Can Contribute Year of publication: 2016 Author: María Isabel Díaz Corporate author: UNESCO International Bureau of Education (IBE) In the context of international agreements and commitments concerning early childhood, the purpose of this document is to review and renew the challenges that are involved in forging educational and curriculum policies for the first level of education. In the light of early childhood being increasingly included in the public agenda, countries are making sustained efforts to increase equity and quality in the design and implementation of policies for the early years.These are policies that are in the process of changing by including quality and participation criteria; fine-tuning monitoring and assessment mechanisms; going beyond the lack of sectoral and territorial coordination, among other limitations; moving from a needs-based approach to a rights-based approach; and adopting a comprehensive view. The document analyses, from a long-term public policy perspective, some of the challenges that second-generation policies face, positioning the curriculum as the articulating factor for the development of comprehensive policies for early childhood. 
Tenir nos engagements en faveur de l'égalité des genres dans l'éducation: Rapport mondial de suivi sur l'éducation, résumé sur l'égalité des genres 2018 Year of publication: 2018 Corporate author: UNESCO Le Cadre d’action Éducation 2030, outil qui vise à aider la communauté internationale à atteindre l’ODD 4 sur l’éducation, reconnaît explicitement l’égalité des genres comme principe directeur lié à la réalisation du droit à l’éducation. Il stipule clairement que les filles et les garçons, les femmes et les hommes, doivent bénéficier des mêmes possibilités « dans et par l’éducation ».Dans ce sixième résumé sur l’égalité des genres, qui fait partie d’une série qui a commencé en 2011, l’équipe du Rapport mondial de suivi sur l’éducation reste concentrée sur une large conception de l’égalité des genres, qui va au-delà du simple comptage du nombre de filles et de garçons dans les classes. La première partie du résumé examine les disparités en matière de participation et de compétences, aux postes à responsabilité des secteurs éducatif et politique et dans certains aspects des infrastructures et des programmes scolaires. Elle examine également les questions liées au genre dans le cadre de la formation professionnelle, en explorant le rôle de l’éducation dans trois autres ODD concernant l’agriculture, la santé, et l’eau et l’assainissement.La deuxième partie du résumé analyse les institutions, les lois et les politiques afin d’explorer des manières de déterminer et de faire appliquer le principe de responsabilité pour l’égalité des genres dans l’éducation. 
Global Citizenship Education: A Guide for Policymakers Year of publication: 2017 Author: Swee-Hin Toh | Gary Shaw | Danilo Padilla Corporate author: APCEIU In order to assist UNESCO Member States to integrate and strengthen Global Citizenship Education (GCED) in national education policies, strategies and plans to achieve SDG Target 4.7 effectively, the Asia-Pacific Centre of Education for International Understanding (APCEIU) has developed and published Global Citizenship Education: A Guide for Policymakers (hereafter referred to as the Guide).The Guide is mainly divided into two parts. Part 1 provides an overview of GCED, including the following three sections: the background to GCED; the rationale for GCED; and the concept of GCED. In Part 2, various selection strategies which allow each country to incorporate GCED into its current education system aligned with its own priorities and context, were divided and suggested into five major policy areas as follow: policy review and development; curriculum review and development; capacity building; knowledge creation; sharing and dissemination; and monitoring and assessment.The Guide was first published in English and Korean and additional translations will be available in the future in other languages, including French and Arabic to provide access to more readers worldwide. We hope that the Guide will provide an opportunity for policymakers and practitioners to share their experiences and insights. 세계시민교육 정책 개발을 위한 가이드 Year of publication: 2017 Author: Swee-Hin Toh | Gary Shaw | Danilo Padilla Corporate author: APCEIU 유네스코 아시아태평양 국제이해교육원은 유네스코 회원국이 국가 교육정책에 세계시민교육을 반영하고 이를 통해 지속가능발전목표 4.7을 효과적으로 달성하는 것을 돕기 위해 『세계시민교육 정책 개발을 위한 가이드(Global Citizenship Education: A Guide for Policymakers)』를 개발ㆍ출간하였다.본 가이드는 크게 두 부분으로 나뉜다. 첫 번째 장에서는 세계시민교육의 배경과 논리, 그리고 개념을 차례로 살펴봄으로써 세계시민교육을 개괄하고자 하였다. 그리고 두 번째 장에서는 각국이 자신의 우선적 목표와 맥락에 맞게 세계시민교육을 현행 교육 시스템에 반영할 수 있도록 하는 다양한 선별적 전략들을 정책 검토ㆍ개발, 교육과정 검토ㆍ개발, 역량 강화, 지식의 창출ㆍ공유ㆍ확산, 모니터링 및 평가 등의 5가지 주요 정책 영역으로 나누어 제시하고자 하였다.본 가이드는 영어와 한국어로 우선 출간되었으며, 향후 전 세계의 더 많은 독자들에게 접근성을 제공하기 위하여 프랑스어와 아랍어를 포함한 다른 언어로도 추가 번역될 예정이다. 모쪼록 본 가이드가 정책입안자들과 실천가들에게 서로의 경험과 통찰을 나누는 계기를 제공할 수 있기를 바란다.

A Policy Review: Building Digital Citizenship in Asia-Pacific through Safe, Effective and Responsible Use of ICT Year of publication: 2016 Corporate author: UNESCO Bangkok This report is a major output of the project. The policy review described in this report took stock of national policies in 22 Member States in the Asia-Pacific region and assessed the capacity of their education sectors to foster digital citizenship among children aged 0-18.It is encouraging to note from the study that surveyed Member States’ policies to promote ICT opportunities mature alongside policies that address potential risks, at varying levels of policy maturity. However, while the surveyed Member States recognize the importance of equipping children with ICT skills and providing basic infrastructure, the findings indicate that there is much to be done for young learners (e.g. early childhood education and lower primary education) in introducing the concept of safe, effective and responsible use of ICT to their national curriculum as well as to their teacher professional development programmes.
