Informe de políticas de nuestra agenda común 10: Transformar la educación Year of publication: 2023 Corporate author: United Nations (UN) Sobre la base de la Cumbre sobre la Transformación de la Educación y el informe de la Comisión Internacional sobre los Futuros de la Educación, el presente informe de políticas examina con más detalle la crisis actual de la educación y propone unas ideas y una serie de medidas orientativas para que los países y la comunidad internacional transformen la educación. El derecho a la educación y al aprendizaje permanente es una parte esencial de la Agenda 2030 para el Desarrollo Sostenible porque la educación, el conocimiento y el aprendizaje son fundamentales para la dignidad, el crecimiento y el desarrollo de la persona. Durante siglos, la educación ha sido la gran igualadora, la fuerza motriz de la construcción nacional y el motor del progreso social, cultural, económico y tecnológico. Sin embargo, en la actualidad, acosada por una doble crisis de equidad y pertinencia, la educación tal y como la conocemos ya no es idónea. 
L'enseignement supérieur face au défi de la transition écologique Year of publication: 2023 Corporate author: Cour des Comptes Les établissements d’enseignement supérieur occupent une place spécifique dans la transition écologique. Représentant près de la moitié des opérateurs de l’État et accueillant un large public, ils ont un impact environnemental substantiel. De nombreuses initiatives ont été prises ces dernières années en la matière et les politiques menées dans les établissements commencent à se mettre en place. Elles sont cependant encore insuffisantes pour atteindre les objectifs affichés, manquant en particulier de nombreux outils pour développer une démarche rigoureuse, cohérente et efficace. L’enseignement supérieur a pourtant un rôle majeur à jouer, non seulement pour réduire sa propre empreinte écologique, mais aussi pour produire, adapter et diffuser les connaissances nécessaires à la réussite de la transition écologique.Higher education institution occupy a specific place in the ecological transition. Representing nearly half of the state operators and catering to a diverse audience, they have a substantial environmental impact. Numerous initiatives have been undertaken in recent years, and policies within these institutions are beginning to take shae. However, they are still insufficient to achieve the stated objectives, notably lacking many tools to develop a rigorous, coherent and effective approach. Higher education has a crucial role to play, not only in reducing its own ecological footprint but also in generating, adapting, and disseminating th knowledge necessary for the success of the ecological transition.

Indigenous Knowledge and practices in Education in Latin America: Exploratory Analysis of How Indigenous Cultural Worldviews and Concepts Influence Regional Educational Policy Year of publication: 2017 Corporate author: UNESCO Santiago This study presents a preliminary exploration of the approaches, processes and tools through which indigenous worldviews and concepts of knowledge and well-being can and have influenced education policies in Latin America. First, it addresses the principal theoretical approaches used in the area of indigenous knowledge and education policies, taking into account the persistence of an “epistemic otherness” and the need for a dialogue between the predominant approaches. Second, it addresses the normative framework and intercultural educational policies, emphasizing how and to what extent the countries in the region take indigenous knowledge into consideration and include it in their education policies and practices. Third, it presents a number of “relevant practices” in terms of dialogue with indigenous knowledge in education policies, taking into account the factors that favour the relevance of education to indigenous views and cultural practices, facilitating their replicability and sustainability. Furthermore, these practices respond to key criteria like recognizing learners as ‘carriers’ and producers of culture, valuing the use of schools as centres of social and cultural activities and favouring the inclusive learning of indigenous and non-indigenous students. Finally, the study unveils challenges for the advancement of the dialogue between indigenous knowledge and education policies, at the same time proposing key concepts to be approached in depth. Conocimiento Indígena y Políticas Educativas en América Latina: Análisis exploratorio de cómo las cosmovisiones y conceptos culturales indígenas de conocimiento inciden, y pueden incidir, en la política educativa en la región Year of publication: 2017 Corporate author: UNESCO Santiago El presente estudio explora la idea de una ‘alternativa epistémica’, construyendo desde el conocimiento y los valores que sustentan las prácticas sociales y educacionales indígenas de la región. En particular, explora cómo estos valores y formas de conocimiento han sido adoptados en las políticas educacionales de tres países de la región andina: Bolivia, Ecuador y Perú, que hace poco atravesaron reformas políticas y constitucionales con el fin de reconocer la composición de sus poblaciones multiculturales, multiétnicas y multilingüísticas. Esta publicación es una invitación a considerar el conocimiento indígena como una fuente legítima de inspiración para las políticas educacionales que puedan contribuir al bienestar de todos y a la sostenibilidad del planeta. 
Learning-service and Citizenship Education Year of publication: 2011 Author: Josep M.ª Puig Rovira | Mònica Gijón Casares | Xus Martín García | Laura Rubio Serrano Corporate author: Universidad de Barcelona The aim of this article is to present the methodology of service learning as an especially significant contribution to citizenship education. Service learning is an activity that combines community service and curricular learning. It is an educational setup in which a circular link is formed between participation in services created to meet a community need and the learning of knowledge and values. The project presents an initiative for education in values and citizenship based on experience, participation and critique. Service learning is at the same time an excellent instrument for making education more inclusive and for helping students develop a set of basic skills that can only be acquired through a comprehensive, contextualized activity. Through service learning, students acquire a real, committed engagement with the search for the common good; this acquisition of commitment is a key formative mechanism in achieving a complete education for citizenship. The article begins by analyzing the different elements that make up citizenship education and the pedagogical means required for their acquisition. The concepts of ‘practice’ and ‘citizenship practice’ are the basis for proposing service learning as an ideal methodology for educating participative citizens who can contribute to the common good. The rest of the article is devoted to analyzing each of the constitutive aspects of service learning. This portion of the article begins by presenting a more-precise definition of ‘service learning’ and continues with an analysis of the components of service learning: social needs, the learning of contents and competences, community service, partnerships between institutions and the required networking. The article concludes by reviewing the different levels at which service learning has an impact and identifying and organizing the various personal acquisitions and institutional achievements that this type of educational activity provides.
