Case Study on Finnish TVET: A Resilient Model of Training During COVID-19 Year of publication: 2021 Corporate author: Omnia Education Partnerships | UNESCO This case study examines how technical and vocational education and training (TVET) was organized during the state of emergency caused by the COVID-19 pandemic in Finland. The disruption accentuated the importance of flexibility within the education system to make it resilient. Finnish TVET, created as a hybrid solution combining school-based, work-based and online-based learning environments, remained responsive and functional throughout the difficult time in spring 2020.To urgently improve the resilience of education, this case study emphasizes the necessity to improve system-level flexibilities across all levels and all types of TVET, including alternative modes of delivery and hybrid learning opportunities, as the one size fits all approach increases rigidity and redundancy of education and training. Flexible measures are key to improve resilience, also beyond the COVID-19 pandemic.

Global Citizenship Education in Europe: A Comparative Study on Education Policies across 10 EU Countries Year of publication: 2016 Corporate author: Global Schools | European Union (EU) This research, realised in the framework of the EU-funded project Global Schools, is a comparative qualitative analysis of educational policies of 10 European countries (Austria, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, France, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Spain, Portugal, England) that support the introduction of Global Citizenship Education (GCE) in primary school curriculum. The analysis focuses on four main topics: 1) identification of key actors and definition of their roles; 2) conceptual and terminology analysis; 3) levels and modes of implementation of GCE in primary school; and 4) identification of barriers to introducing GCE in the primary school system.The research has highlighted that political actors, not only governmental ones, play a crucial role in implementing GCE policies, as well as in promoting GCE more generally, and in facilitating links between different actors, who in some countries may otherwise have little institutional coordination with schools. The conceptual analysis points out that, besides the choice of different wording of GCE national terms, the main topics composing GCE are very similar. The specific terminology often reflects the history, will and political discourse of the organisations promoting GCE in the different countries. 
Delivering Education at Home in African Member States Amid the Covid-19 Pandemic: Country Status Report Year of publication: 2020 Corporate author: Association for the Development of Education in Africa (ADEA) Since its emergence in late 2019, the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has evolved into a pandemic, heavily affecting the lives of billions of people across the world with an anticipated huge impact on the global economy and Africa in particular. Education is one of the sectors heavily affected, with the closure of learning institutions in many African countries likely to negatively affect the education quality.In order to obtain a clearer view of the status of learning during this period, and to better support countries in the immediate, short and long term, ADEA engaged some of the most affected African countries in March 2020 to map the national situation in the education sector. The foregoing is a synopsis of the feedback from Burkina Faso, Côte d’Ivoire, Egypt, Ghana, Kenya, Mauritius, Morocco, Rwanda, Senegal, South Africa, Tunisia, and Zambia in terms of national strategies, platforms and tools or applications, gaps and challenges, partner engagement, good practices and lessons learnt with some recommendations.
