Foro regional: Educación más allá de las Fronteras: Solidaridad Regional para la Garantía del Derecho a la Educación de Personas en Contexto de Movilidad; reporte del evento Year of publication: 2019 Corporate author: UNESCO Santiago El aumento sustantivo de la movilidad intrarregional, la progresiva transformación de la procedencia de la población en contexto de movilidad y la presencia de flujos masivos de desplazamiento en los últimos años han supuesto importantes desafíos para los Estados. Particularmente, en establecer las maneras en que las personas migrantes, refugiadas, solicitantes de asilo y retornadas puedan ejercer sus derechos fundamentales. Entre estos derechos, el derecho a la educación emerge como una herramienta para proteger la dignidad humana, especialmente considerando su capacidad de promover la garantía de otros derechos y de constituirse, por tanto, en un derecho multiplicador. Un compromiso central de la Agenda 2030 adoptada por los Estados Miembros es “no dejar a nadie atrás”, por lo que considerar las necesidades de protección de las personas en situación de movilidad resulta urgente. El logro de los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible depende de nuestra respuesta a este desafío mundial y regional. 
Education and Migration Policy Paper: Language, Education and Migration in the Context of Forced Displacement (Policy Brief Series, no 1) Year of publication: 2018 Author: Francine Sara Menashy | Zeena Zhakaria A surge in global migration, spurred in part by conflict, emergency, and fragility, has elicited increased attention to the specific needs of migrant and refugee learners. The international community faces an urgent global challenge: more people are now displaced than since the end of the Second World War. Half of those displaced are under the age of 18. Further, while two-thirds of international migrants are in high-income countries, 85% of those displaced by conflict and natural disaster now live in low-income countries. Forced displacement creates particular vulnerabilities, including access to education free from discrimination. Meeting Sustainable Development Goal 4 by 2030 demands that all children, youth, and adults receive an inclusive and equitable quality education. Education is a right that plays a critical role in advancing both sustainable development and peace. Yet refugees, migrants, and asylum seekers encounter numerous barriers to an inclusive andequitable quality education in host countries worldwide. 
Online Programme and Meeting Document Situation Analysis of SDG 4 with a Gender Lens, Target 4.C Year of publication: 2018 Corporate author: UNESCO Bangkok Teachers play a critical role in delivering high-quality education and learning outcomes. Indeed, the quality of an education system cannot exceed that of its teachers (OECD, 2010). Target 4.c recognizes this fact by calling on countries to increase the supply of qualified teachers. East Asia and the Pacific does not have enough trained and qualified teachers, particularly in remote and impoverished areas where children are most in need of highquality education. Moreover, the gender distribution of teachers is uneven across the education system, in teaching and administration. While integrating Target 4.c into national education policies and sector plans, governments should develop specific strategies to ensure that teachers are trained, qualified and deployed in an equitable manner. 
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.
