A pesar de ello, persisten en los sistemas escolares profundas inequidades que limitan la capacidad de alcanzar a toda la población.Es imperativo contar con información que contribuya a orientar las acciones que permitan atenuar o revertir los impactos negativos que ha provocado la pandemia en los aprendizajes y en las desigualdades educativas.Para ello este reporte presenta un panorama regional a partir de los resultados de la “Encuesta sobre las respuestas nacionales en materia de educación frente a la COVID-19", implementada por la UNESCO, UNICEF y el Banco Mundial entre mayo y octubre de 2020. 
Mapping the Mainstreaming of Education for Sustainable Development Across SDG 4.7: A Comparative Analysis of the Mainstreaming of ESD in Cyprus, Greece, Malta and Turkey Year of publication: 2020 Author: Devonne Goad Corporate author: UNESCO The objective of the present report is to summarize the state of ESD implementation in Cyprus, Greece, Malta and Turkey. This report summarizes and shares the successes and challenges highlighted within National Implementation Reports, as such a summary could be an important contribution to UNESCO, as the organization is currently facilitating dialogues to establish the direction of the new global programme for ESD. For that reason, these four countries within the regional scope of the UNESCO Regional Bureau in Venice, Italy, were chosen for the preliminary study. For the purpose of this study, the binary data contained within the National Implementation reports of Cyprus, Greece, Malta and Turkey were extracted to summarize the state of ESD implementation. 
Achieving SDG4 Through a Human Rights Based Approach to Education: World Development Report 2018 Background Paper Year of publication: 2018 Author: Kate Moriarty Corporate author: World Bank Quality education is a critical dimension for the achievement of sustainable development. The renewed political commitment set out in sustainable development goal 4 (SDG4) is an opportunity to ensure strong coherence between education policy and the right to education first articulated more than 70 years ago. This paper presents the results of a desk-based study on a human rights-based approach to education (HRBAE) in the context of SDG4. It explores the ways in which such an approach can guide policy, planning, and the delivery of education in observance with agreed international frameworks providing for the right to education. The paper argues that the human rights conventions on the right to education are not passive instruments designed to remain only at the level of discourse but, as legal obligations, require action from the state and should be central in the development of education services, including in the context of large scale displacement and crisis. This paper outlines the legally binding commitments of the right to education. It considers how these can be applied practically through a HRBA-E to address the continuing barriers to access and completion of quality education and learning. 
The Impact of COVID-19 on Inclusive Education at the European Level: Literature Review Year of publication: 2021 Corporate author: European Agency for Special Needs and Inclusive Education | European Commission The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has affected learners around the world. School closures forced emergency responses from education systems, resulting in various forms of remote schooling. The crisis highlighted pre-existing inequalities in education and provided a reason for systemic change in education worldwide.This literature review aims to map evidence and identify acknowledged ways in which COVID‑19 has impacted on education in general and inclusive education in particular at European and national levels. The intention is to provide a comprehensive overview of key messages for Agency member countries. It will also inform possible future Agency work on this topic. 
Sub-Education Policy Review Report: Inclusive Education Year of publication: 2021 Corporate author: UNESCO Inclusion highlights opportunities for an equal involvement of individuals with disabilities (physical, social, and emotional) when possible into typical education, but leaves accessible the probability of individual selections and possibilities for special aid and accommodations for persons who need it. This review was initiated by UNESCO to inform the ongoing discourse about inclusive education within Malaysia, Indonesia, Brunei, Philippine and Timur-Leste. Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG 4) reinforces the importance of inclusive education which adheres nations to adopt the framework of action in providing inclusion and equity through education of children with perceived differences. The review contributes to the body of literature on inclusive education by synthesizing policy recommendations and evaluations and identifying contradictions and overlaps in those policies. This review draws upon UNESCO reports pertaining to inclusive education policies and initiatives. In addition, a systematic review of empirical studies on inclusive education policy (2010-2020) identified from related and major databases (Eric) is conducted. Both the UNSECO reports and empirical studies are analyzed based on the SDG4 and its targets pertaining to inclusion policy.

Evaluation of UNESCO’s Action to Revitalize and Promote Indigenous Languages: Within the Framework of the International Year of Indigenous Languages Year of publication: 2021 Author: Claire Thomas | Lydia van de Fliert | Oliver Loode | Silvia Quattrini | Mihaela Cojocaru Corporate author: UNESCO To draw attention to the critical loss of indigenous languages and the urgent need to preserve, revitalize and promote them and to take further urgent steps at the national and international levels, in 2016 the United Nations General Assembly in its resolution 71/178 proclaimed the year beginning on 1 January 2019 the International Year of Indigenous Languages (hereafter the IYIL2019). UNESCO was invited to serve as the lead agency for the Year and the coordination role was internally assigned to the Communication and Information Sector. UNESCO requested an evaluation of its action within the IYIL2019 with a view to learning from its experience during 2019 and further strengthening its coordination and implementation role during the upcoming Decade of Indigenous Languages (2022-2032).As the lead agency for the IYIL2019, UNESCO played a key role raising awareness of not only the critical loss of indigenous languages, but also the positive value and meanings that indigenous languages provide to Indigenous Peoples and humanity at large. The evaluation found that UNESCO led the development of an ambitious and relevant Action Plan for the Year. It also succeeded in setting up an 18-member Steering Committee composed of representatives of Member States, Indigenous Peoples and the UN three-party indigenous mechanisms. UNESCO staff implemented more than 80 activities around the world, with three-quarters of these at the global level and the majority of national events in Latin America and the Caribbean region. It also maintained an interactive website, which registered more than 880 events around the world.Leading and coordinating the IYIL2019 was not without its challenges, particularly as UNESCO was asked to lead this effort within existing resources and relying on a very small core team. Its programme sectors found creative solutions for indigenous language programming, but without a budget for intersectoral activities, collaboration between sectors was limited to information sharing and activities in Africa and the Arab States were few. The evaluation also found that the Action Plan lacked a meaningful results framework and thereby did not facilitate the monitoring of the IYIL2019. Partnerships with UNESCO networks and the wider UN system were underutilized and many opportunities for future collaboration have been highlighted for the upcoming Decade.
