Her Atlas: Interactive Advocacy Tool on Girls’ and Women’s Right to Education Year of publication: 2023 Corporate author: UNESCO Many girls and women cannot exercise their right to education due to gender inequality and discriminatory practices. Poverty, early marriage, and gender-based violence are just some of the many reasons behind the high percentage of global female illiteracy and school drop-outs. Strengthening the right of girls and women to quality education is key to eliminate discrimination and to achieve equal rights between genders. This cannot be achieved without solid national legal frameworks that are rightsbased, gender responsive and inclusive. This is where HerAtlas comes in. HerAtlas, is a first of its kind online tool that maps the right to education of girls and women. It aims to enhance public knowledge and monitor the status of national constitutions, legislation and regulations related to education rights for girls and women to encourage countries to take action, strengthen their laws and policies, and lead to long term change. Concrete changes are already apparent. In 2019, 4% of countries were explicitly restricting the right to education of married, pregnant, and parenting girls. This has dropped to 2% in 2022, benefiting millions of girls who can now legally attend school when they marry or become pregnant.

Marco de competencias para docentes en materia de IA Year of publication: 2025 Author: Fengchun Miao | Mutlu Cukurova Corporate author: UNESCO Orientación para docentes sobre el uso y el mal uso de la IA en la educaciónLa IA procesa enormes cantidades de información, genera nuevos contenidos y ayuda a la toma de decisiones mediante análisis predictivos. En el ámbito educativo, la IA ha transformado la relación tradicional docente-estudiante, creando una nueva dinámica docente-IA-estudiante. Este cambio exige replantear los roles de los docentes y las competencias que necesitan en la era de la IA. Sin embargo, son pocos los países que han definido estas competencias o desarrollado programas nacionales para capacitar a los docentes en IA, lo que deja a muchos educadores sin una orientación adecuada.El Marco de competencias en materia de IA para docentes aborda esta brecha al definir los conocimientos, habilidades y valores que los docentes deben dominar en la era de la IA. Desarrollada bajo los principios de protección de los derechos de los docentes, del fortalecimiento de la capacidad de acción humana y de la promoción de la sostenibilidad, la publicación describe 15 competencias que atraviesan cinco dimensiones: una forma de pensar centrada en el ser humano, la ética de la IA, los fundamentos y aplicaciones de la IA, la pedagogía de la IA, y la IA para el aprendizaje profesional. Estas competencias se clasifican en tres niveles de progresión: adquirir, profundizar y crear.Como una referencia global, esta herramienta orienta el desarrollo de marcos nacionales de competencias en IA, brinda insumos para los programas de formación docente y ayuda a diseñar parámetros de evaluación. También ofrece estrategias para que los docentes desarrollen conocimientos sobre IA, apliquen principios éticos y apuntalen su crecimiento profesional. 
Référentiel de compétences en IA pour les enseignants Year of publication: 2025 Author: Fengchun Miao | Mutlu Cukurova Corporate author: UNESCO Guider les enseignants à propos de l’usage judicieux ou problématique de l’IA en éducationL’intelligence artificielle (IA) traite une grande quantité d’informations, génère de nouveaux contenus et aide à la prise de décision grâce à des analyses prédictives. Dans le domaine de l’éducation, l’IA a transformé la relation traditionnelle entre l’enseignant et l’apprenant en un triptyque dynamique entre l’enseignant, l’IA et l’apprenant. Cette évolution exige de repenser le rôle des enseignants et les compétences dont ils ont besoin à l’ère de l’IA. Pourtant, peu de pays ont défini ces compétences ou élaboré des programmes nationaux pour former les enseignants à l’IA, ce qui prive de nombreux éducateurs d’un cadre adéquat.Le Référentiel de compétences en IA pour les enseignants comble cette lacune : il définit les connaissances, les habiletés et les valeurs que les enseignants doivent maîtriser à l’ère de l’IA. Élaborée dans le respect de la protection des droits des enseignants, de l’accroissement de l’agentivité humaine et de la promotion de la durabilité, la publication présente 15 compétences réparties en cinq composantes : une approche de l’IA centrée sur l’humain, l’éthique de l’IA, les fondements et les applications de l’IA, la pédagogie de l’IA et l’IA pour l’apprentissage professionnel. Ces compétences sont classées selon trois niveaux de progression : acquérir, approfondir, créer.En tant que référence internationale, cet outil sert de guide pour l’élaboration de référentiels nationaux de compétences en IA, apporte des informations sur les programmes de formation des enseignants et aide à définir des paramètres d’évaluation des apprentissages. Il fournit également aux enseignants des stratégies pour développer leurs connaissances en matière d’IA, respecter des principes éthiques et soutenir leur développement professionnel. 
Empowering Learners and Teachers for Climate Action Year of publication: 2023 Corporate author: UNESCO Climate change is impacting every aspect of life around the world and posing a growing threat to people and their livelihoods. It is critical to equip learners with the knowledge, skills, attitudes and behaviours to effectively address the climate crisis. Globally, there remain significant gaps in how climate change education and sustainability are taught in classrooms. Getting every learner climate-ready requires a holistic approach that involves adapting curricula, training teachers, rethinking schools and empowering communities. As part of its ongoing work on Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) and its role as secretariat to the Greening Education Partnership, UNESCO is currently developing a Green School Quality Standard and Greening Curriculum Guidance to mainstream climate education in schools and educational institutions. 
Why the World Needs Happy Schools: Global Report on Happiness In and For Learning Year of publication: 2024 Corporate author: UNESCO Seeing a teacher smile. Hearing students laugh. Feeling a hug from a friend. Smelling fresh air. Tasting a nutritious school meal. These five senses can stimulate happiness at school and improve the learning experiences, outcomes and well-being of students. Through the ‘Happy Schools’ initiative, UNESCO is placing happiness at the core of the transformation of education. It encourages education systems to recognize happiness as both a means to and a goal of quality learning. The initiative is informed by a growing evidence base linking happiness with better learning, teaching, well-being and overall system resilience. This report presents the UNESCO global Happy Schools framework consisting of 4 pillars – people, process, place and principles – and 12 high-level criteria to guide the transformation of learning. It offers a holistic model for embedding happiness into education policies and cultivating it in schools through systemic changes. The report illustrates how the ‘Happy Schools’ initiative aims to create top-down and bottom-up transformation, encouraging governments to recognize happiness as a core objective of education. It supports the scaling of promising practices of joyful learning from the school to the policy level.
