Non-state Actors in Tertiary Education: A Shared Vision for Quality and Affordability? (Policy Paper 47) Year of publication: 2022 Corporate author: UNESCO Non-state provision accounts for more than one third of tertiary education students worldwide, a considerably higher share than in primary or secondary education. Providers are diverse, respond to a variety of needs, and often blur the line between the state and non-state sectors. Non-state actors are also important players in the financing of tertiary education through households, market mechanisms and public–private partnerships. As a result, these actors play a significant role in influencing regulations and policymaking, and in shaping the tertiary system as a whole. Governments must ensure quality and equity, the key dimensions of Sustainable Development Goal target 4.3, regardless of how state and non-state actors share responsibilities.

Their efforts and limited hard-won victories should prompt governments to live up to their promises. 
From Radio to Artificial Intelligence: Review of Innovative Technology in Literacy and Education for Refugees, Migrants and Internally Displaced Persons Year of publication: 2022 Corporate author: UNESCO Institute for Lifelong Learning (UIL) The publication From radio to artificial intelligence: Review of innovative technology in literacy and education for refugees, migrants and internally displaced persons presents a review of relevant literature and an analysis of 25 programmes from across the world that have used innovative ICTs in literacy and education for refugees, migrants and IDPs. It identifies a lack of data on the state of literacy for youth and adults globally, and limited literature on the effectiveness of ICTs in supporting literacy and education programmes for refugees, migrants and IDPs. The 25 analysed programmes reveal that ICTs play an important role in overcoming barriers to learning for these target groups, however. The strategies followed by these innovative ICT-supported programmes are elaborated across six thematic areas: (1) access and inclusion, (2) capacity-building of teachers and educators, (3) relevant content and innovative andragogy, (4) monitoring and evaluation, (5) strategic partnerships and (6) recognition, validation and accreditation of learning. 
An Analysis of the Factors Affecting East-Asian Adults’ Global Citizenship: Social capital, Threat Recognition, Information Media Utilization (Journal of Education for International Understanding; vol.16, no.3) Year of publication: 2021 Author: Seongkyeong Jeong | Yura Lee | Hwanbo Park Corporate author: Korean Society of Education for International Understanding (KOSEIU) This paper puts an in-depth study on identifying the characteristics of factors related to global citizenship in adults from South Korea, China, and Japan and analyzing the elements affecting them. For this purpose, data from the 7th World Value Survey which was undertaken in South Korea, China, and Japan were used, and they were examined with three different perspectives of social capital, threat recognition, and information media utilization to get to know the influence of variables from various aspects. Multiple regression was applied for this and the results are as follows. Firstly, the global citizenship of adults was high in the order of China, Japan, and South Korea, and the factors influencing global citizenship depend on the country. This implies that contextual factors are acting differently in the formation of the global citizenship of adults even they are from the same East Asian region. Secondly, simple contact with immigrants and foreigners in China and Japan has negative effects while having a positive effect on trust in foreigners. This suggests that an educational mechanism is required to raise trust and empathy beyond understanding immigrants simply to foster global citizenship among Chinese and Japanese adults. Thirdly, depending on the hierarchy of the sense of belonging, the impact on global citizenship was different in South Korea. Educational activities and programs should be implemented to establish the sense of global citizenship of adults in South Korea. Fourthly, the treat perception of social safety and employment insecurity in South Korea and China did not have statistical significance to global citizenship. While the higher the social safety perception the heavier the employment insecurity, adults in Japan had higher global citizenship awareness. This implies that Japanese adults perceive the problems of immigration as a matter of national or social situation and structure. Finally, the utilization of information media in all countries revealed statistical significance, which means that attitude for immigrants would vary depending on which information medica is used from those three countries.

Teachers and Migrant Families: Pressing Communication (Iberoamerican Journal of Education; vol. 89, no. 1) Year of publication: 2022 Author: Mohamed Chamseddine Habib Allah Corporate author: Organización de Estados Iberoamericanos (OEI) This article presents the results of a study whose objective is to analyze the state of communication between migrant families and teachers in Early Childhood and Primary Education Centers in the Region of Murcia. Two questionnaires were chosen to develop a descriptive non-experimental quantitative research. The main results reveal that extracurricular activities are not part of the usual conversations between families and teachers. However, acceptable but improvable aspects are detected, such as delving into discipline issues, and student learning, etc. On the other hand, it is evident that the parents still do not go to visit the teachers on their own initiative to address the relevant elements of the teaching-learning process of their children.
