Reconstruir sin ladrillos: guías de apoyo para el sector educativo en contextos de emergencias Year of publication: 2017 Author: Griselda Amuchástegui | María Isabel del Valle | Henry Renna Corporate author: UNESCO Santiago La Educación es fundamental para todos los niños, niñas y jóvenes y más aún en situaciones de emergencia. Es una herramienta para el bienestar psico-social de las comunidades en la respuesta, de desarrollo de capacidades para la preparación y reducción del riesgo y de fortalecimiento local en la recuperación de los territorios. La educación es y debe ser un medio para mejorar y transformar las vidas y el hábitat del ser humano. También la Educación es un fin, en su búsqueda y construcción colectiva las personas regeneran relaciones, trazan proyectos comunes y fortalecen su auto-concepto. Ella no sólo contribuye al bienestar, la Educación es por misma un estar-bien colectivo, mejora nuestras habilidades, internaliza valores, contribuye al cambio social, a la salud y la vida sana, la cohesión local. Es un derecho y es también habilitador de otros derechos. Históricamente, ante desastres la Educación ha sido abordada a mediano y largo plazo en lugar de ser activada desde la fase de respuesta a emergencias; la ayuda humanitaria suele enfocarse en la provisión de alimentos, vivienda, agua, albergue, cuestiones imprescindibles pero que deben y pueden ser cruzadas con acciones del sector de Educación desde el primer momento. La Educación no puede esperar a tiempos más estables para su despliegue; debe ser garantizada en todo momento, en todo lugar y de todas las formas posibles como un Derecho Humano Fundamental. 
Situation Analysis of SDG 4 with a Gender Lens, Target 4.5 Year of publication: 2018 Corporate author: UNESCO Bangkok Equity and inclusion are at the heart of the SDG 4-Education 2030 Agenda. Target 4.5 calls for monitoring equity using disaggregated parity indices for all education indicators “by income, sex, age, race, ethnicity, migratory status, disability and geographic location, or other characteristics” (UN, 2016). In East Asia and the Pacific, access to basic education has expanded in recent decades, especially for girls (UNESCO & UNICEF, 2012). Despite these gains, many girls are still denied the right to education in the sub-region, but this should not mask the fact that boys also face barriers to education. As policymakers seek to implement Target 4.5, they must address the multiple, intersecting disadvantages that all children and youth face.

Reforms and Changes in Governance of Higher Education in Africa Year of publication: 2016 Author: N.V. Varghese Corporate author: UNESCO International Institute for Educational Planning (IIEP) Higher education in Africa has received favourable political attention and funding support in the period following independence. The rationale for state funding was questioned in the 1980s, and the higher education reforms in the 1990s centred on finding alternative ways of financing and on improving the managerial efficiency of universities. This focus was reflected in the market-friendly reforms that led to the privatization of public institutions and the promotion of private institutions. These reforms resulted in substantial changes in the governance and management of higher education. IIEP initiated a research study to analyse the reforms and to understand their effects on the governance of higher education at institutional and national levels. Based on studies carried out in Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria, and South Africa, this book shows how the reforms have effected changes in the governance and management of institutions of higher education in Africa.
