Accountability for Gender Equality Year of publication: 2018 Author: Elaine Unterhulter | Amy North | Orlanda Ward The aim of this paper is to consider approaches to understanding and evaluating accountability in education from the perspective of concerns with gender equality in education. This task has a number of facets and complexities, because ‘gender’ is not one simple set of relationships, and the notion of gender equality in education can be read in a number of different ways. Thus developing adequate conceptualizations for the key terms (accountability, and gender equality and education) needs to take account of gender as a particularly fluid, contextually located and contested idea signaling processes, which link with different formulations of policy and practice to enhance gender equality and accountability in education.In this paper we look at a range of different meanings of accountability, distilled in the main GEM Report (UNESCO, 2017) and consider their implications in relation to debates about gender and gender equality in education. The aim of the paper is to develop a ‘bespoke’ interpretation of accountability and different forms of gender equality in education through which we can assess a number of research studies and country examples of forms of accountability.This paper is also background paper prepared for the 2018 Global education monitoring report gender review: Meeting our commitments to gender equality in education. 
Security, Extremism and Education: Safeguarding or Surveillance? Year of publication: 2015 Author: Lynn Davies This article analyses how education is positioned in the current concerns about security and extremism. Initially, a central dilemma is acknowledged: that schooling appears to be simultaneously irrelevant to the huge global questions of security and yet central to the learning of alternative ways to conduct human relations. With regard to extremism, two aspects of importance in ideological compliance or challenge are firstly the attempted securitization of education, and secondly the role of education in young people joining or supporting extremist movements. Educational approaches within transitional justice underline the importance of tackling violence in schools and promoting a human rights culture that promotes both human security and ultimately national security. Security, Extremism and Education: Safeguarding or Surveillance? Year of publication: 2015 Author: Lynn Davies Cet article analyse le rôle de l'éducation dans les préoccupations actuelles concernant la sécurité et l'extrémisme. Dans un premier temps, on reconnait le problème fondamental suivant : à priori, il n’y a aucun rapport entre l'école et la question pressante de la sécurité dans le monde, et pourtant l’école est clé dans l'apprentissage des différents moyens de gestion des relations interpersonnelles. En ce qui concerne l'extrémisme, deux aspects de l’adhésion à une idéologie ou de la défiance sont importants : d'une part les efforts pour sécuriser l'éducation, et d'autre part le rôle de l'éducation vis-à-vis des jeunes rejoignent ou soutiennent des mouvements extrémistes. Les approches éducatives au sein de la justice transitionnelle soulignent l'importance de lutter contre la violence dans les écoles et de promouvoir une culture des droits de l'homme favorisant à la fois la sécurité humaine et la sécurité nationale.

UNITED NATIONS HUMAN RIGHTS MECHANISMS and the Right to Education in Insecurity and Armed Conflict Author: Takhmina Karimova | Gilles Giacca | Stuart Casey-Maslen Corporate author: Geneva Academy of International Humanitarian Law and Human Rights This publication, United Nations Human Rights Mechanisms and the Right to Education in Insecurity and Armed Conflict, seeks to respond to the acute need to identify trends in the practice, and contribution, of United Nations human rights mechanisms to the protection of education in times of insecurity and conflict. It is the result of a one-year research project carried out by researchers at the Geneva Academy of International Humanitarian Law and Human Rights (Geneva Academy). The research was overseen by a Legal Advisory Committee and subject to multi-disciplinary peer review. Accompanying the publication is a summary policy document intended to guide future work in this area. An electronic version of each publication is available at http://www.geneva-academy.ch and at http://www.educationandconflict.org.United Nations Human Rights Mechanisms and the Right to Education in Insecurity and Armed Conflict is the second in a series of legal research documents commissioned by Protect Education in Insecurity and Conflict (PEIC) on the protection of education during insecurity and armed conflict. PEIC is a programme of the Education Above All Foundation, an independent organization chaired by Her Highness Sheikha Moza Bint Nasser of Qatar, UNESCO Special Envoy for Basic and Higher Education. A policy, research, and advocacy organization, PEIC is concerned with the protection of education during insecurity and armed conflict. PEIC’s Legal Programme contributes to such protection through the strategic use of international and national law. Its legal research papers are authored by academics and/or practicing lawyers. They are aimed at a varied audience, including international and national lawyers; non-legally trained education experts and policy-makers within governments; political, social, and cultural bodies; and civil society. The Geneva Academy aims to provide instruction of a high academic standard, conduct and promote scientific research, organize training courses and expert meetings, and provide legal expertise in the branches of international law relating to situations of armed conflict. Founded in 2007, the Academy replaces the University Centre for International Humanitarian Law created in 2002 by the Faculty of Law of the University of Geneva and the Graduate Institute of International Studies, now the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies(IHEID). 
Not a Battleground: School Shootings and the Right to a Safe and Protective Environment Year of publication: 2018 Author: Kim Brouwers | Chrissie van Heijningen Corporate author: KidsRights Foundation Violence is a daily reality for many children, at home, at play and at school. More than 100,000 children die from violence every year, and others suffer the effects well into adulthood. This is a violation of Article 19 of the UNCRC, which stipulates that every child has the right to a safe environment to grow up in, protected from all kinds of violence.School should be a safe place where young people can grow and develop without fear. School shootings are a very real threat to many children, devastating families, creating a lifetime of trauma for survivors, and affecting millions more children by putting them in a permanent state of alert in their learning environment.To prevent school shootings, we need a better understanding of the causes, and therefore more academic research, and better data, therefore detailed registration of incidents by national governments.
