The Transforming Education Summit: A Toolkit for Education Unions Year of publication: 2022 Corporate author: Education International (EI) For the first time ever, the Heads of State of the world are meeting to discuss progress in education. Convened by the UN Secretary General, the Transforming Education Summit (TES) is taking place on 19 September 2022 in New York. It is a very important opportunity for us as education unions to make our voices heard.The Summit is a crisis response: it aims to reverse the downward trends that we currently see in education, with deepened and exacerbated inequity, and cuts to education budgets. Not only is the world off track to achieve Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG 4), the COVID-19 pandemic has wiped out 20 years of education gains. This is why the UN Secretary-General is calling for urgent action.The Summit is the biggest international education event since the adoption of SDG4 and a significant political opportunity for all EI member organisations. There are multiple ways that education unions can engage in the lead up to the Summit.This toolkit includes EI’s key policy messages for the Summit and aims to support EI member organisations in their advocacy efforts to ensure the Summit has concrete, tangible outcomes that advance teachers’ status and rights and the fulfilment of the right to education for all.

Education Investments in Middle East, Eastern and Southern Africa: Gaps & Opportunities Towards Sustainable Financing Beyond GPE Commitments Year of publication: 2022 Corporate author: Plan International To achieve the goals of the global and continental agendas of repositioning access, equity, quality education and skills development as key drivers of inclusive growth and sustainable development, African governments must provide a level of predictable and sustainable investment in education. With these strategic investments, African countries can change the status quo, accelerate the pace of catching up with the developed countries and be able to compete in an increasingly technology and knowledge-based world where skills have become the “global currency of the 21st century”. Plan International in Middle East, Eastern and Southern Africa commissioned a study to assess the extent to which the Education Sector budget is adequate, gender-responsive and inclusive and to analyse education budget trends between 2019 and 2021. The focus was to generate concrete evidence regarding trends in education sector budget allocations and expenditure. Furthermore, due to the recent pandemic, the study aimed to compare current and previous allocations to detect trends/patterns in allocations and any reallocations due to COVID-19. Specifically, the study sought to: Analyse allocations (and expenditure) to the education sector with a particular focus on initiatives aimed at supporting the provision of gender-responsive and disability-inclusive education in line with the country policies; Assess the efficiency of resource allocation and use against planned expenditure; and Recommend effective strategies for CSOs and citizens to advocate for education budget increase to or above 20% of the national budget and 6% of GDP. The study focused on 10 countries in the region – Kenya, Uganda, Zambia, Malawi, Zimbabwe, South Sudan, Tanzania, Egypt, Somalia and Rwanda. With a multi-pronged research process of budget tracking and analysis, policy analysis, political economy analysis and varied data collection methods – the research findings and recommendations are ready for wider dissemination and use.

كيفيات التربية المدرسية على قيم المواطنة في ظل المبادئ التي تحملها الدول العربية المتجهة نحو الديمقراطية من أجل تحقيق التكامل المجتمعي (مجلة هيرودوت ، المجلد 6 ، رقم 1) Year of publication: 2022 Author: Zahya Shuashi | Noura Diradi Corporate author: Herodotus Foundation for Scientific Research and Training تناقش هذه الورقة البحثية موضوع التربية على المواطنة من خلال الأدوار التي تقوم بها الأنظمة التعليمية والتربوية في العالم العربي، وسيركز موضوعنا على فكرة تثمين وتعزيز إدماج ثقافة المواطنة في الحقل التعليمي وترسيخها خاصة وأنها أصبحت مطلب من مطالب الديمقراطية التي تحاول الدول العربية الانخراط فيها، وفي ظل التحديات التي يفرضها النظام العالمي الجديد، وهي محاولة تستخدم على صعيد المناهج التعليمية للاستجابة للمتطلبات الاجتماعية والقيم الثقافية وطموحات المواطنين، وذلك من خلال ترسيخ ثقافة المواطنة عبر التربية الشاملة، مع تأطير كل ذلك داخل الفضاء الثقافي المجتمعي والذي يطلق عليه تسمية المدرسة، لكن لكي يتحقق ذلك لابد من اعتماد المدرسة في الدول العربية على فلسفة تربوية تقوم على برامج ومناهج حية تستهدف ترسيخ أخلاقيات وسلوكيات المواطنة الحقة، والتي تظهر أثارها الإيجابية في حياة أفراد المجتمع، ونسعى هنا إلى تبيان العلاقة بين فكرة التربية على المواطنة باستخدام مناهج تتماشى ومسارات التطور العلمي للارتقاء بإنسانية المواطن المتعلم، فهل فعلا أسهمت المناهج التعليمية في البلدان العربية من تحقيق التربية على المواطنة Modalities of School Education on the Values of Citizenship in Light of the Principles Carried by Arab Countries Moving Towards Democracy in Order to Achieve Societal Integration (Herodote Journal; vol. 6, no. 1) Year of publication: 2022 Author: Zahya Shuashi | Noura Diradi Corporate author: Herodotus Foundation for Scientific Research and Training This research paper discusses the topic of citizenship education through the roles played by the educational and educational systems in the Arab world, and our topic will focus on the idea of valuing and promoting the integration and consolidation of the culture of citizenship in the educational field, especially since it has become one of the demands of democracy that Arab countries are trying to engage in. The challenges posed by the new world order, which is an attempt to be used on the level of educational curricula to respond to the social requirements, cultural values and aspirations of citizens, by consolidating the culture of citizenship through comprehensive education, while framing all of this within the societal cultural space called the school, but in order to achieve this. The school in the Arab countries must rely on an educational philosophy based on live programs and curricula aimed at consolidating ethics and true citizenship behaviors, which show their positive effects on the lives of community members, and we seek here to clarify the relationship between the idea of citizenship education by using curricula that are in line with the scientific development paths to advance the citizen's humanity The learner, so did the educational curricula in the Arab countries really contribute to achieving citizenship education?

دور المدرسة في تنمية قيم المواطنة لدى المتعلمين : مرحلة التعليم المتوسط والثانوي نموذجا Year of publication: 2016 Author: بوطبال، سعد الدين Corporate author: University of Ouargla هدفت الدراسة الراهنة إلى تقصي دور المدرسة من خلال المقررات الدراسية في مرحلة التعليم المتوسط والثانوي في تنمية وتفعيل قيم المواطنة وجعلها راسخة في شخصية الأفراد، لتظهر بعد ذلك جليا في الحياة الاجتماعية من خلال ممارسات حقيقية. جرى الاعتماد على منهج تحليل المحتوى لمادتي التربية الإسلامية والتربية المدنية من خلال التركيز على المعاني الكبرى للمواطنة كفئات تحليل، والكلمات الدالة على المواطنة كوحدات التحليل. توصلت الدراسة إلى أن المدرسة تؤدي دورا في اكتساب المتعلمين لقيم المواطنة في شتى المجالات القانونية والسياسية، إلا انه يلاحظ وجود نقص في الاهتمام بالجانب النفسي السلوكي لقيم المواطنة، لذلك وجب ربط المقررات الدراسية بالمجتمع المحلي وخصوصياته ومشكلاته حتى يحدث تناسق بين أهداف المدرسة التي تستمد من الأهداف العامة للمجتمع من جهة، والاستجابة لمتطلبات العولمة ورهاناتها من جهة أخرى، لأن قيم المواطنة يجب أن تصاغ بشكل مباشر في جميع المناهج الدراسية قصد ترسيخها في التفاعلات الاجتماعية للأفراد والجماعات بشكل يجعلها تساهم في التنمية الشاملة بمختلف أبعادها، والمحافظة على الأمن والاستقرار الاجتماعي.
