[Summary] Media and Information Literacy: The Time to Act is Now! Year of publication: 2021 Corporate author: UNESCO UNESCO has developed a comprehensive Curriculum which provides a framework for training teachers. But it is also a foundation that will also be of help to others: to learners, to content providers like internet companies and news media outlets, and to citizens of all ages as they consume, create and use content, including information.The second edition of the learning resource has been significantly expanded since the first publication in 2011. The MIL Curriculum reflects the changing nature of the information landscape. It now includes insight from a broader range of content providers than before, including libraries, archives, museums, media, and digital communications companies.The Curriculum is designed to empower educators and learners in general – from schoolteachers to those involved in training, the media and libraries, governments, and NGOs – to train people to spot misrepresentations and disinformation, and most importantly develop critical thinking competencies. 
Closing the Gap: Ensuring There Are Enough Qualified and Supported Teachers in Sub-Saharan Africa Year of publication: 2021 Corporate author: International Task Force on Teachers for Education 2030 | UNESCO The fourth Sustainable Development Goal (SDG 4) aims to ensure better learning opportunities and outcomes and more equitable and inclusive education for all. SDG target 4.c calls for an increase in the supply of qualified teachers, particularly in low-income countries. To achieve this ambitious target, the international community needs to pay renewed attention to teacher support and preparation.This advocacy brief considers what it will take to increase the supply of qualified teachers in sub-Saharan Africa, the region where the teacher shortage is most acute. It analyses the causes for teacher shortages, looks at trends affecting the region and describes the scale of the shortages. It examines the fiscal pressures on low-income countries to cover salary costs and the costs of initial teacher education and continuing professional development, and it proposes some recommendations for governments and the international community to achieve the essential target of substantially increasing the supply of well qualified teachers.

Reimaginar juntos nuestros futuros: un nuevo contrato social para la educación Year of publication: 2021 Corporate author: International Commission on the Futures of Education | UNESCO Nuestra humanidad y el planeta Tierra están bajo amenaza. La pandemia solo ha servido para demostrar nuestra fragilidad y nuestra interconexión. Ahora se necesita una acción urgente, tomada en conjunto, para cambiar el rumbo y reimaginar nuestro futuro. Este informe de la Comisión Internacional sobre el Futuro de La educación reconoce el poder de la educación para generar cambios profundos. Nos enfrentamos al doble desafío de cumplir la promesa incumplida de garantizar el derecho a una educación de calidad para todos los niños, niñas, jóvenes y adultos y realizar plenamente el potencial transformador de la educación como vía para futuros colectivos sostenibles Para ello, necesitamos un nuevo contrato social para la educación que pueda reparar las injusticias mientras transforma el futuro. Este nuevo contrato social debe fundamentarse en los derechos humanos y basarse en los principios de no discriminación, justicia social, respeto por la vida, la dignidad humana y la diversidad cultural. Debe abarcar una ética del cuidado, la reciprocidad y la solidaridad. Debe fortalecer la educación como un esfuerzo público y un bien común. Este informe, que se preparó durante dos años y se basó en un proceso de consulta global en el que participaron alrededor de un millón de personas, invita a los gobiernos, instituciones, organizaciones y ciudadanos de todo el mundo a forjar un nuevo contrato social para la educación que nos ayudará a construir un futuro pacífico, justo y futuros sostenibles para todos. Las visiones, principios y propuestas que aquí se presentan son meramente un punto de partida. Traducirlos y contextualizarlos es un esfuerzo colectivo. Ya existen muchos puntos brillantes. Este informe intenta capturarlos y construir sobre ellos. No es ni un manual ni un anteproyecto, sino la apertura de una conversación vital. Repenser nos futurs ensemble: Un nouveau contrat social pour l'éducation Year of publication: 2021 Corporate author: International Commission on the Futures of Education | UNESCO L’avenir de l’humanité sur la planète est, nous le savons aujourd’hui, compromis. La pandémie a eu au moins le mérite de démontrer combien nos existences sont fragiles et combien nos destins sont inextricablement liés. Il est nécessaire et urgent désormais, d’agir collectivement pour changer de cap et réinventer notre avenir. Dans ce tournant, l’éducation jouera un rôle crucial pour sa capacité, universellement reconnue, à provoquer le changement. Mais pour jouer son rôle, elle devra surmonter un double défi : honorer, d’une part, sa plus vieille promesse, c’est-à-dire d’être effective et d’assurer le droit à une éducation de qualité pour chaque enfant, chaque jeune, chaque adulte partout à travers le monde ; et, d’autre part, assumer entièrement son potentiel transformateur, afin d’ouvrir la voie vers un avenir collectif durable. Pour y parvenir, il convient de s’engager dans un nouveau contrat social pour l’éducation, qui permette de corriger les injustices tout en transformant l’avenir.Ce nouveau contrat social doit être enraciné dans les droits humains et être fondé sur les principes de non- discrimination, de justice sociale, de respect de la vie, de la dignité humaine et de la diversité culturelle ; il doit aussi s’appuyer sur une éthique de la sollicitude, de la réciprocité et de la solidarité ; il doit enfin renforcer l’éducation comme projet public et un bien commun de l’humanité.Le présent rapport, préparé durant deux ans et qui a pu s’appuyer sur une consultation mondiale de près d’un million de personnes, invite les gouvernements, les partenaires et les citoyens du monde entier à élaborer un nouveau contrat social en faveur de l’éducation, pour construire un avenir pacifique, juste et durable pour toutes et tous.Les conceptions, les principes et les propositions avancés ici ne constituent qu’un point de départ. Seul un effort collectif pourra les traduire en actes et les adapter aux situations locales. Il existe en effet de vraies lueurs d’espoir. Ce rapport essaie de les ressaisir afin que l’avenir se construise sur ces fondations. Qu’on n’y voit donc pas un manuel ou un plan directeur : c’est le début d’une conversation vitale.

Global Education Monitoring Report 2021/2: Non-state Actors in Education; Who Chooses? Who Loses? Year of publication: 2021 Corporate author: UNESCO Non-state actors’ role extends beyond provision of schooling to interventions at various education levels and influence spheres. Alongside its review of progress towards SDG 4, including emerging evidence on the COVID-19 pandemic’s impact, the 2021/2 Global Education Monitoring Report urges governments to see all institutions, students and teachers as part of a single system. Standards, information, incentives and accountability should help governments protect, respect and fulfill the right to education of all, without turning their eyes away from privilege or exploitation. Publicly funded education does not have to be publicly provided but disparity in education processes, student outcomes and teacher working conditions must be addressed. Efficiency and innovation, rather than being commercial secrets, should be diffused and practiced by all. To that end, transparency and integrity in the public education policy process need to be maintained to block vested interests. The report’s rallying call – Who chooses? Who loses? – invites policymakers to question relationships with non-state actors in terms of fundamental choices: between equity and freedom of choice; between encouraging initiative and setting standards; between groups of varying means and needs; between immediate commitments under SDG 4 and those to be progressively realized (e.g. post-secondary education); and between education and other social sectors. 全球教育监测报告摘要, 2021/2年: 教育领域的非国家行为体：谁能主动选择？谁将错失机会？ Year of publication: 2021 Corporate author: 联合国教科文组织 (UNESCO) 本文件是2021/2022年全球教育检测报告的摘要，主要聚焦教育领域的非国家行为体，包括私人办学、宗教办学等力量，并探讨了与非国家行为体对教育的影响与存在问题。
