Tablero de control para el ODS 4: informe sobre el progreso hacia los puntos de referencia nacionales; foco en docentes Year of publication: 2024 Corporate author: Global Education Monitoring Report Team | UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS) Esta es la segunda evaluación del progreso de los países hacia los puntos de referencia, o metas nacionales, que los países han establecido para ocho indicadores del ODS 4 para marcar su contribución a las metas globales. La evaluación cubre el período desde 2015 y revisa la probabilidad de que cada país alcance su punto de referencia para 2025 o, cuando no se haya establecido dicho punto de referencia, el valor que habría alcanzado si hubiera progresado al ritmo histórico (2000–15) del 25 % de los países que mejoran más rápidamente.El Tablero de Control para el ODS 4 de 2024 revela que el progreso hacia las metas nacionales está desviado en la mayoría de los indicadores. En dos casos – la brecha de género a expensas de los niños que terminan la educación secundaria alta y el gasto público en educación como proporción del gasto público total – los países incluso están retrocediendo.Por el contrario, el progreso es más rápido en el octavo indicador de referencia, la conectividad a Internet en las escuelas, que se añadió tras la prioridad otorgada a la transformación digital en la Cumbre sobre la Transformación de la Educación en 2022. Un tercio de los países estableció objetivos nacionales en 2023 y el progreso en el indicador está siendo revisado por primera vez en esta edición.El progreso también es relativamente rápido en el porcentaje de docentes con las calificaciones mínimas requeridas, que también es el indicador central de esta edición. Se presenta nueva evidencia sobre políticas nacionales en cuanto a los niveles mínimos de calificación requeridos para ingresar a la profesión docente, políticas de desarrollo profesional continuo obligatorio y políticas de formación docente sobre tecnología en educación. 
Gender, migration and non-formal learning for women and adolescent girls Year of publication: 2019 Author: Amy North Corporate author: Global Education Monitoring Report Team Processes of international migration and displacement are highly gendered. Who migrates, and how they experience migration and displacement, is affected by gender norms and relations in both in countries of origin and countries of settlement, the gendered dynamics of conflict and violence, and the gendered nature of global and local labour markets. These gendered dynamics of migration both affect and are affected by education in often complex ways, as education may both facilitate processes of migration, and be enabled or limited by them, and as gendered engagements with education prior to and during migration and settlement may have a significant influenced on how these processes are experienced. This paper is concerned with exploring this gender-migration- education nexus through a focus on the educational engagements and experiences of migrant and refugee women and adolescent girls. It first considers the wider body of research that has explored the relationship between gender, migration and displacement, particularly in relation to the experiences of migrant women and girls, before drawing out some of the key conceptual ideas from this, considering their implications for education, and presenting a conceptual diagram to represent this relationship. It then focuses more specifically on experiences of non-formal education for women and adolescent girls in refugee contexts and in host countries. Finally it identifies a number of key issues and recommendations emerging from this research. 
Global Education Monitoring Report 2024/5: Leadership in Education; Lead for Learning Year of publication: 2024 Corporate author: Global Education Monitoring Report Team Leadership matters in education. Strong leaders are needed to help institutions, systems and societies change for the better. Strong leaders work in collaboration with other actors towards the same goals. At the school level, they are the principals but also those who surround them, in the school and in the community, in positions of responsibility. At the system level, they are civil servants working as district officers, supervisors or planners. At the societal level, they are political leaders, as well as a very broad range of actors who help shape education goals, from unions and researchers to civil society and the media.Entitled Lead for learning, this report argues that, in pursuing specific goals, education leaders are more than just managers. They are change agents, who need the time, trust and support to focus on setting a vision and developing the people they serve and work with. The report calls for investment in and empowerment of school and system leaders. There should be fair hiring processes and growth opportunities that recognize the full scope of leaders’ roles. Moreover, leadership works best when it is shared, empowering others to lead as they can within their roles.There is no one leadership style that works. Different contexts, capacities and personalities mean that styles vary, and rightfully so. This, combined with the different goals that each leader is trying to achieve, means that their impact is hard to fully assess. Yet, all research points towards the critical need for strong leaders to continuously improve education quality. School leaders are second only to teachers for transforming student outcomes. Meanwhile, politicians wield huge influence in making equitable and inclusive education a national priority.Supporting this seventh Global Education Monitoring Report is a new series of country profiles on PEER, an online resource supporting policy dialogue and describing policies and regulations on school principal selection, preparation and development in the world’s education systems. 
Rapport mondial de suivi sur l'éducation 2024/5, Leadership dans l'éducation : diriger pour apprendre Year of publication: 2025 Corporate author: Global Education Monitoring Report Team Le Rapport mondial de suivi sur l'éducation 2024/5 évalue les progrès accomplis dans la réalisation des objectifs du Programme 2030 et montre que, si le nombre d'enfants scolarisés et achevant l'enseignement secondaire n'a jamais été aussi élevé, de nombreux domaines connaissent une stagnation. Le leadership joue un rôle central pour y remédier. Aucune école n’améliore les résultats des élèves sans un bon leader pour montrer la voie. Sur la base d’un examen des lois et politiques concernant la sélection, la préparation et les conditions de travail des chefs d'établissement de 211 systèmes éducatifs, le rapport analyse les leviers stratégiques permettant d'attirer et de retenir des leaders de talent.Les possibilités d’exercer un leadership ne se limitent pas aux dirigeants des écoles, elles s’étendent à des personnes qui occupent d’autres postes dans le système éducatif et en dehors de celui-ci, telles que les directeurs adjoints, les enseignants et les élèves lorsque le leadership est partagé, les responsables politiques, la société civile, les organisations internationales, les syndicats et les médias, qui contribuent à définir les objectifs en matière d’éducation.Le rapport préconise que des efforts soient faits pour former des leaders dans quatre dimensions essentielles : fixer des objectifs, donner la priorité à l’apprentissage, encourager la collaboration et faire évoluer les personnes. Pour que ces dimensions se concrétisent, il faut faire confiance aux personnes occupant des postes de direction et leur donner les moyens d’agir ; il faut les recruter grâce à des pratiques d’embauche équitables ; les soutenir dans leur évolution ; et les encourager à mettre en place une culture de collaboration. Le rapport appelle également à investir dans la capacité des responsables de l'éducation à jouer un rôle de leader au sein du système, en mettant particulièrement l'accent sur la direction pédagogique et l'assurance qualité 
Informe de seguimiento de la educación en el mundo, 2024/5: Liderazgo en la educación: liderar por el aprendizaje Year of publication: 2025 Corporate author: Global Education Monitoring Report Team El Informe de seguimiento de la educación en el mundo 2024-2025 evalúa los avances hacia el logro de las metas de 2030 y muestra que, aunque hay más niños escolarizados y que finalizan la educación secundaria que nunca, en muchos ámbitos hay estancamientos. El liderazgo es fundamental para abordar esta cuestión. Ninguna escuela puede mejorar los resultados de los alumnos sin un buen líder que muestre el camino a seguir. Partiendo de un examen de la legislación y las políticas relativas a la selección, preparación y condiciones laborales de los directores de escuela de 211 sistemas educativos, el informe analiza instrumentos de política para atraer y retener a líderes talentosos.El potencial de liderazgo no se limita a los líderes escolares, sino que abarca también a las personas que ocupan otros puestos en el sistema educativo, así como fuera de él, desde subdirectores, docentes y alumnos, cuando el liderazgo es compartido, hasta líderes políticos, la sociedad civil, organizaciones internacionales, sindicatos y medios de comunicación, que contribuyen a definir los objetivos de la educación.El informe insta a adoptar medidas para que los líderes desarrollen sus capacidades en las cuatro dimensiones fundamentales del liderazgo: establecer expectativas, centrarse en el aprendizaje, fomentar la colaboración y favorecer el perfeccionamiento personal. Para llevar a la práctica estas dimensiones, es esencial confiar en quienes ocupan puestos de liderazgo y empoderarlos; reclutarlos mediante prácticas de contratación justas; brindarles apoyo para que se perfeccionen; y motivarlos a fomentar culturas de colaboración. Asimismo, el informe pide que se invierta en fortalecer las capacidades de los funcionarios de educación para que actúen como líderes del sistema, especialmente en el liderazgo pedagógico y la garantía de la calidad. 
[Summary] Global Education Monitoring Report Summary 2024/5: Leadership in Education; Lead for Learning Year of publication: 2024 Corporate author: Global Education Monitoring Report Team The 2024/5 Global Education Monitoring Report assesses progress towards the 2030 targets and shows that, while more children are in school and completing secondary education than ever before, there is stagnation in many areas. Leadership is central to addressing this. There are no schools that improve student outcomes without a good leader showing the way. Building on a review of legislation and policies on the selection, preparation and working conditions of school principals in 211 education systems, the report discusses policy levers to attract and retain talented leaders.Leadership’s potential is not limited to school leaders: it extends to individuals in positions elsewhere in the education system as well as outside of it, from assistant principals, teachers and students, when leadership is shared, to political leaders, civil society, international organizations, unions and the media, who help shape education goals.The report calls for efforts to develop leaders in four key leadership dimensions so that they can set expectations, focus on learning, foster collaboration and develop people. For these dimensions to be realized, people in leadership positions should be trusted and empowered; recruited through fair hiring practices; supported to grow; and encouraged to develop collaborative cultures. The report also calls for investment in education officials’ capacity to serve as system leaders, with a particular emphasis on instructional leadership and quality assurance.

The regional report on Southeast Asia covers 11 countries, Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia, Lao PDR, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Timor-Leste and Viet Nam. Extensive background research informs the regional analysis: 9 country case-studies compiled by local research teams and independent experts; 5 thematic studies produced by SEAMEO centers on open and distance learning, technology for students with disabilities, integration of technology in teaching practices, key policies issues in ICT in education; technology in technical and vocational education and training, and 3 research inputs on ICT in education practices produced by SEAMEO affiliate members and partners. 
Empowering Minds: A Round Table on Generative AI and Education in Asia-Pacific Year of publication: 2023 Corporate author: UNESCO Bangkok The emergence of generative AI, a recent groundbreaking artificial intelligence (AI) technology capable of producing sophisticated content from text and images to simulations and audiovisuals, has become a transformative force across multiple sectors. Popular applications like OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Anthropic’s Claude are prime examples of the rapidly expanding range of generative AI tools that are having an impact in education across the Asia-Pacific. These tools offer unprecedented opportunities for enabling personalized learning experiences at scale and expanding access to high-quality learning resources. However, as generative AI increasingly reshapes classrooms, critical questions remain unanswered, such as:- How can generative AI be ethically and responsibly integrated into educational settings?- What policies and safeguards are needed to address issues like misinformation, algorithmic bias and threats to academic integrity?- What challenges do Asia-Pacific countries face in harnessing generative AI in education, given the region’s unique context?- What are the strategies for Asia-Pacific countries to take up opportunities offered by generative AI, while mitigating the risks? In response to these questions and emerging challenges in the region, the UNESCO Regional Office in Bangkok (UNESCO Bangkok), in collaboration with The Southeast Asian Ministers of Education Organization (SEAMEO), organized the regional experts meeting on 7-9 November 2023 in Bangkok, Thailand. This hybrid meeting, titled ‘Empowering Minds: A Round Table on Generative AI and Education in Asia-Pacific’, explored the implications of generative AI for teacher training and development. It served as an important platform to leverage opportunities and mitigate risks of generative AI in education across the Asia-Pacific region.
