Developing Holistic Indicators to Promote the Internationalization of Higher Education in the Asia-Pacific Year of publication: 2018 Author: Da Wan Chang Corporate author: UNESCO Bangkok The internationalization of higher education has been emphasized by the global community to improve access and quality in higher education (SDG4.3), as well as to achieve other global goals by promoting cross-cultural understanding and tolerance. Even though the internationalization of higher education has diverse dimensions, ‘student mobility’ has been a predominant indicator and there are conceptual and methodological challenges in the existing sources of data and statistics. In addition to student mobility, this document proposes a holistic set of indicators to capture other important dimensions of the internationalization of higher education, such as alignment with international normative instruments, international networking, governance and management, as well as the mobility of academics and programmes, etc. The suggested indicators are categorized into domains on two levels: system and institutional. It is hoped that this policy brief will help users better understand and adapt the indicators for use in their local contexts, so as to promote the internationalization of higher education.

Girls' Right to Education Programme in Pakistan Year of publication: 2018 Corporate author: UNESCO Islamabad The programme is in progress in 14 very marginalized districts of the country selected in consultation with concerned education counterparts. Basic indicators for education, such as literacy rate, enrolment and retention of girls, and level of learning outcomes in primary grades are quite low in each selected district. Each province and area based project has three integrated components: (a) improving girls’ access through social mobilization and advocacy, (b) improving retention through improvement in school physical and learning environments – activation of parents-teachers committees (PTCs), school management committees (SMCs) and teachers training in multi-grade teaching and activity-based learning and, (c) capacity building of education officials at district, provincial and national level to create an enabling environment for girls’ education. All projects are implemented through local civil society organizations (CSOs) as implementing partners in consultation with national, provincial and area education departments. The programme is making significant progress in transforming the parental and community perception towards girls' education. Over seven thousand out of school girls have been enrolled in the target areas and retention is ensured through the provision of school facilities and improvement in overall learning environment. 
Teachers: changing lives (The UNESCO Courier no. 4, October-December 2019) Year of publication: 2019 Corporate author: UNESCO Certainly, everyone recognizes the key role teachers play. On a personal level, we can all name at least one teacher who made a difference – sometimes to such an extent that it redirected our whole lives. At the international level, the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), Goal 4 in particular, recognize the importance of teachers in the implementation of the Sustainable Development Agenda by 2030. Yet, the profession is being undermined. The development of cognitive neuroscience and the many applications of new technologies in the field of education are forcing the profession to adapt and reinvent itself.

El desarrollo de la neurociencia cognitiva y las múltiples aplicaciones de las nuevas tecnologías en el sector educativo imponen al magisterio la necesidad de adaptarse, de reinventarse.
