Promoting gender equality in education Year of publication: 2009 Corporate author: UNESCO Kathmandu This publication was originally designed in 2003 when the Gender in Education Network in Asia-Pacific (GENIA) was established. Few gender in education resources were available at that time, and until the 2006 version, documents were mainly intended to be used by GENIA members, who are representatives (gender focal points) from ministries of education in the Asia-Pacific region. GENIA members have been using the Toolkit to sensitize and train their national counterparts ever since. However, the Toolkit has not only been distributed and used by gender focal points, but also by other people who have heard about GENIA, and/or who were interested in the resource materials published by UNESCO Bangkok. For this reason, the Toolkit has been accessible via the UNESCO Bangkok website1 since 2006. As a result, anyone searching the Web for information on gender equality can easily access the Toolkit. This fourth edition of the Toolkit, thus, expands the scope of the target audience. The content has likewise been adapted accordingly in order to meet the needs of all who could potentially access it. The Toolkit also integrates existing information and tools designed by other national or international organizations dedicated to promoting and providing training on gender equality in education and other sectors. Further information from these sources is obtained by consulting the references section at the end of the Toolkit. The Toolkit is designed as a user-friendly resource. As such, a matrix is provided on pages 4 and 5 to indicate each tool’s potential for use, based on its relevance to each prospective user group. Still, every tool will have relevance to many contexts or situations and, therefore, we encourage you to make use of all the materials by adapting them to your country context.

Reimagining Girls’ Education: Solutions to Keep Girls Learning in Emergencies Year of publication: 2021 Corporate author: United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) Reimagining Girls’ Education: Solutions to Keep Girls Learning in Emergencies presents an empirical overview of what works to support learning outcomes for girls in emergencies. Research shows that girls in emergencies are disadvantaged at all stages of education and are more likely to be out-of-school than in non-emergency settings. Girls are also struggling to learn.This solutions book seeks to highlight promising evidence-based actions in education for decision makers who are designing and implementing interventions to support girls’ education in low and middle-income country humanitarian settings and settings where education has been interrupted by the COVID‑19 pandemic. It documents practical examples of approaches that have been or are being tested, and from which lessons can be drawn.The overarching aim is that this evidence be used to inform programming in crises and support diverse stakeholders in mitigating the impact of emergencies on girls’ education. 
G7 Global Objectives On Girls’ Education: Baseline Report Year of publication: 2022 Corporate author: United Nations Girls' Education Initiative (UNGEI) This publication serves as a baseline report to accompany efforts of the G7 Accountability Working Group to monitor progress towards the two global objectives. It presents evidence on low- and lower-middle-income countries’ progress in achieving the two global objectives and what remains to be done.It is important to stress that the two G7 global objectives on girls’ education are measures of gender parity, which are necessary but not sufficient as measures of gender equality. Assessing progress towards the latter requires information, which tends not to be available systematically enough to allow a comparative perspective. However, this report provides insights to remaining challenges. 
Evaluation of UNESCO's Programme Interventions on Girls' and Women's Education Year of publication: 2017 Author: Michael Reynolds, Martina Rathner, Estelle Loiseau Corporate author: UNESCO Internal Oversight Service (IOS) Since 2008, Gender Equality has been one of two global priorities for UNESCO. In May 2011, UNESCO launched the Global Partnership for Girls’ and Women’s Education, also known as “Better Life, Better Future”, which aims to increase learning opportunities for adolescent girls and women and to find solutions to some of the biggest obstacles to their education. To further advance the global priority of Gender Equality, since 2015 a dedicated Section of Education for Inclusion and Gender Equality specifically addresses the gender dimensions in education that contribute to differential access, participation, completion, and learning outcomes by boys and girls, and men and women. The evaluation examines UNESCO’s programme interventions in girls’ and women’s education during the period 2015 to 2017, in particular to ascertain the relevance, effectiveness, efficiency and sustainability of initiatives, and to clarify the strategic role and positioning of the Organization in supporting girls’ and women’s education at regional and country levels.The evaluation found that although UNESCO’s efforts for enhancing girls’ and women’s education are clearly aligned to SDG 4 and SDG 5 and also broadly in line with the overall principle of leaving no one behind, there is at times a trade-off between targeting the hardest to reach and other donor priorities, and UNESCO needs to more clearly position its efforts in support of girls’ and women’s education and its niche in the 2030 Agenda. Furthermore, continued efforts are required to scale up and/or replicate small-scale interventions, to better ensure sustainability and to consolidate mechanisms for coordination and information sharing among different interventions to seize synergies and enhance organizational learning.

Education for sustainable development country guidelines for changing the climate of teacher education to address sustainability: putting transformative education into practice Year of publication: 2011 Corporate author: UNESCO Jakarta This document on ESD Country Guidelines for TEIs is the result of the Regional Training Workshop Programme, titled “Developing Capacities of Teacher Education Institutions (TEIs) of Brunei Darussalam, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines and Timor-Leste in Reorienting Teacher Education to Address Sustainability” and has been developed by the five cluster countries of the UNESCO Office, Jakarta. The developed guidelines ultimately aim to reorient each country's curriculum, policies, standard practices and programmes to address sustainability and implement it in a tangible way. Although many idealistic descriptions of sustainability and sustainability education exist, faculties of education must decide which themes should receive particular focus and create their own guidelines and design criteria on this specific area. Therefore, these ESD Country Guidelines are significant initial steps to ensuring teacher education programmes fit the environmental, social, cultural and economic conditions and goals of each country's communities, regions and nations. Lignes directrices pour l'éducation au service du développement durable pour changer le climat de la formation des enseignants pour aborder la durabilité: mettre en pratique l'éducation transformatrice Year of publication: 2011 Corporate author: UNESCO Jakarta Le présent document sur EDD pour les Institutions de Formations des Enseignants (IFE) est le résultat du Programme régional d'ateliers de formation intitulé «Développer les capacités des établissements d'enseignement de Brunei Darussalam, de l'Indonésie, de la Malaisie, des Philippines et du Timor-Leste pour réorienter la formation des enseignants pour la durabilité» et a été développé par les cinq pays du Bureau de l'UNESCO à Jakarta. Les lignes directrices élaborées visent en fin de compte à réorienter les programmes, les politiques, les pratiques et les programmes standard de chaque pays en vue d'aborder la durabilité et de la mettre en œuvre de façon tangible. Bien que de nombreuses descriptions idéalistes de la durabilité et de l'éducation en matière de durabilité existent, les facultés d'éducation doivent décider quels thèmes devraient recevoir une attention particulière et créer leurs propres lignes directrices et critères de conception dans ce domaine spécifique. Par conséquent, ces EDD directrices sont des étapes importantes pour assurer que les programmes de formation des enseignants correspondent aux conditions et aux objectifs environnementaux, sociaux, culturels et économiques des communautés, des régions et des nations de chaque pays. 
2014 syllabus: character and citizenship education: primary Year of publication: 2014 Corporate author: Singapore. Ministry of Education. Student Development Curriculum Division Character and Citizenship Education (CCE) has always been at the heart of Singapore's education system. In CCE, students learn to be responsible to family and community; and understand their roles in shaping the future of nation. The emerging trends and global developments that impact the society, such as social changes, globalisation and technological advancements are taken into consideration in the development of the CCE curriculum.The goal of CCE is to inculcate values and build competencies in students to develop them to be good individuals and useful citizens. Since 1959, various key programmes have been introduced to inculcate values, habits, competencies and skills in students. Some of these programmes include Civics and Moral Education (CME, 1992), National Education (NE, 1997), Social and Emotional Learning (SEL, 2005), and learning experiences such as Co-Curricular Activities (CCA).The new CCE curriculum shifts focus from programmes to a common purpose. The desired outcomes of CCE are aligned to the Key Stage Outcomes (KSOs) and Desired Outcomes of Education (DOE). CCE is central to the Framework for 21st Century Competencies and Student Outcomes. It emphasizes the interconnectedness of the core values, social and emotional competencies and civic literacy, global awareness and cross-cultural skills that are critical for character and citizenship development of students.
