I'd blush if I could: closing gender divides in digital skills through education Year of publication: 2019 Author: Mark West | Rebecca Kraut | Han Ei Chew Corporate author: UNESCO | EQUALS Skills Coalition This publication seeks to expose some of these biases and put forward ideas to begin closing a digital skills gender gap that is, in most parts of the world, wide and growing. Today, women and girls are 25 per cent less likely than men to know how to leverage digital technology for basic purposes, 4 times less likely to know how to programme computers and 13 times less likely to file for a technology patent. Ata moment when every sector is becoming a technology sector, these gaps should make policy-makers, educators and everyday citizens ‘blush’ in alarm. The publication explains the role gender-responsive education can play to help reset gendered views of technology and ensure equality for women and girls. This publication was prepared by UNESCO for the EQUALS Skills Coalition, one of three coalitions that comprise the EQUALS partnership. EQUALS is a global partnership of governments and organizations dedicated topromoting gender balance in the technology sector by championing equality of access, skills and leadership for women and men alike. The Skills Coalition, Access Coalition, Leadership Coalition and a transversal Research Group release knowledge products periodically, organize competitions and funds, and take actions in countries and internationally to advance EQUALS’smission. The German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) generously supported this publication financially and co-leads the EQUALS Skills Coalition with UNESCO. A dedicated working group composed of digital skills and gender experts guided the development of the content. 
Toward one world or many? A comparative analysis of OECD and UNESCO global education policy documents Year of publication: 2019 Author: Vaccari, Victoria | Gardinier, Meg P. Education policymaking has gone global. The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development aims to galvanize efforts to promote sustainable development, decrease global inequalities, and realize universal quality education. Supporting these efforts, two leading international organizations, UNESCO and the OECD, have set out normative frameworks for their vision of global education. This paper examines the policy discourses of these organizations in light of SDG 4–Education. Specifically, through a comparative analysis of selected terms and underlying concepts in key policy documents, the paper distinguishes between UNESCO's notion of global citizenship and the OECD's framework for global competence. Ultimately, the authors discuss whether the organizations' agendas are aimed at a common global vision, or, alternatively, towards two distinct and divergent conceptualizations of an imagined future. 
Quality Adult Education Benchmarks for Indigeneous Education Year of publication: 2011 Author: Sandra L. Morrison | Timote Vaioleti Corporate author: Asia South Pacific Association for Basic and Adult Education (ASPBAE) In November 2010, in Indonesia, Asia South Pacific Association for Basic and Adult Education(ASPBAE) brought together a number of educators from across its region to discuss benchmarking quality adult education for indigenous peoples. Educators came from across the ASPBAE region including the Philippines, India, Nepal, New Zealand, Australia, Thailand, Indonesia and Uzbekistan to share experiences and to build a collective understanding of what constitutes a good quality adult education program for indigenous peoples. Discussions were informed by a broader ASPBAE Quality Adult Education Framework, which had its origins in discussions held in 2009. The Core of the Framework is grounded on ASPBAE’s commitment to education as a right, adult education for transformation, and adult and basic education as integral and inter‐connected components of the vision of lifelong learning (Guevara, 2010). Other frameworks promoted by ASPBAE for education to be empowering, pro‐poor, gender just and sustainable were also important considerations. The 2010 gathering served as a nodal point to discuss the ASPBAE framework more deeply and to reaffirm or create a set of benchmarks for indigenous education which can be validated through a subsequent national and regional consultation process. 
UN and SDGs: A Handbook for Youth Year of publication: 2017 Author: Sunyoung Hwang | Jiwon Kim Corporate author: UN. Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (UN. ESCAP) | Asian Development Bank (ADB) | United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) "UN and SDGs: A Handbook for Youth" is an outcome of ESCAP East and North-East Asia’s internship program that brings young people closer to the work of the United Nations, as well as to the achievement of the ambitious set of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). As young leaders of tomorrow, it is pivotal that youth are informed and engaged with the global vision for the future. Over the next fifteen years, youth will not only directly experience the outcome of SDGs and plans, but will also be the key driver for their successful implementation. For this reason, it is vital to raise awareness about the recently adopted 17 SDGs and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development among youth, build a platform for discussion, and create the conditions for active engagement. This Handbook explores SDGs and the 2030 Agenda from a youth perspective. In the first chapter, it introduces the concept of sustainable development and outlines its historical development through the transition from Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) to SDGs. The second chapter discusses how youth can be harnessed as a major agent of change in achieving sustainable development, focusing on several pertinent youth issues in Asia and the Pacific. The final chapter introduces the UN system and its regional arm, ESCAP, explaining their role in the successful implementation of SDGs. 청년을 위한 UN과 SDGs 핸드북 Year of publication: 2017 Author: Sunyoung Hwang | Jiwon Kim Corporate author: UN. Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (UN. ESCAP) | Asian Development Bank (ADB) | United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) 이 핸드북은 유엔의 업무와 지속가능발전목표(SDGs)에 대해 배울 수 있는 유엔 인턴십 프로그램을 통해 만들어졌습니다. 청년들이 내일의 리더로써 미래 글로벌 비전을 인식하고, 이에 적극 동참하는 일은 매우 중요합니다. 그들은 향후 15년간 SDGs의 결과를 체험하고, 목표를 성공적으로 이행할 핵심 주체가 될 것입니다. 그러므로 지속가능발전을 위한 2030 의제와 SDGs에 대한 청년들의 인식을 함양하고, 논의의 장을 늘리고, 적극적인 참여를 유도하기 위한 환경을 조성하는 것이 중요합니다. '청년을 위한 UN과 SDGs 핸드북'은 청년들의 관점에서 2030 의제와 SDGs를 개괄합니다. 제1장에서는 지속가능발전에 대한 개념을 소개하고 새천년개발목표 (MDGs)에서 SDGs로의 이행을 통한 역사적인 발전에 대해 알아보며, 제2장에서는 아시아태평양지역 내 청년과 관련된 여러가지 사안에 초점을 맞춰 청년들이 지속가능발전을 실현하기 위해 어떤 역할을 할 수 있는지에 대해 논의합니다. 제3장에서는 유엔 시스템과 지역기구인 ESCAP에 대해 소개하면서 SDGs의 성공적 이행 과정에 있어서의 청년들의 역할에 대해 알아봅니다. 
한국교육과 SDG4-교육2030 Year of publication: 2018 Author: 김광호 Corporate author: 유네스코한국위원회 영유아 교육부터 성인교육에 이르기까지 교육의 모든 분야를 망라하고 있는 SDG4는 매우 야심 찬 목표다. 세계 각국은 이를 달성하기 위해 여러 논의도 벌이고 교육 정책 에 반영도 하는 등 다각도로 노력하고 있다. 이러한 국제사회의 노력에 비해 국내의 SDG4 관련 움직임은 아직 그리 크지 않은 것 같다. 이에 유네스코한국위원회는 교육부와 함께 한국의 SDG4 달성 현황을 파악하고 앞으로 어떤 과제에 집중해야 하는지 점검하기 위하여 2017년 11월에 ‘제1회 SDG4-교육 2030 포럼: 한국교육과 SDG4-교육 2030’을 개최한 바가 있다. 이 책은 포럼 발표문과 토론문의 저자들이 포럼에서의 논의를 반영하여 수정한 원고를 한데 묶은 것이다. 일차적으로 교육 정책 담당자, 교육 연구자, 교육기관 종사자, 시민단체 활동가를 위한 내용을 담고 있지만, 일반 시민의 SDG4에 대한 관심과 이해를 높이는 데에도 유용할 것이다.
