Global Gender Gap Report 2021: Insight Report, March 2021 Year of publication: 2021 Corporate author: World Economic Forum The report is a measure of gender gap on four parameters: economic participation and opportunity, educational attainment, health and survival, and political empowerment. The index has benchmarked 156 nations across the globe in 2021. The data show that it will take 135.6 years to bridge the gender gap worldwide and the pandemic has impacted women more severely than men. The gap is the widest on the political empowerment dimension with economic participation and opportunity being next in line. However, the gap on educational attainment and health and survival has been practically bridged. 
Social Contract Pedagogy: A Dialogical and Deliberative Model for Global Citizenship Education; Background Paper for the Futures of Education Initiatives Year of publication: 2020 Author: Richard Desjardins | Carlos Alberto Torres | Susan Wiksten Corporate author: UNESCO We propose that together Social Contract Pedagogy (SCP) and Global Citizenship Education (GCE) offer a comprehensive vision including key principles and core elements that are important for rethinking education and shaping the future of the world. We introduce the novel concept of Social Contract Pedagogy (SCP) as a means to adapt the social contract in liberal democracies which has been (conceptually) located at the level of the state, to the level of the classroom and other pedagogically relevant contexts. A key feature of this pedagogy is the negotiation of values and norms in ways that maintain cohesion and inclusion and avoids too much power in the hands of sectarian extremes (of any kind) which tend to impose their views on others, oppress and exclude. This includes using fake news, denying scientific debates and/or any extremely politicized interpretations of evidence and facts to obfuscate or deny consequences of individual and group choices and behavior, but also ‘othering’ of any kind whether from the political right or the political left. In our view, this is an essential premise for the education of democratic citizens. Citizenship education of this kind is seen as essential for the survival and growth of liberal democracies in the future.

Expert Consultation Meeting: Global Citizenship Education for a Culture of Lawfulness, Paris, France, 15 to 16 March 2018; Meeting Report Year of publication: 2018 Corporate author: UNESCO | UN. Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) In the context of a UNESCO/UNODC partnership on “Global Citizenship Education for a Culture of Lawfulness”, an expert consultation meeting was held in Paris on March 15 and 16 of 2018. The purpose of the partnership is to strengthen the capacities of educational systems to promote the rule of law. To this end, the partnership aims to empower and equip learners to act and engage in society as constructive and ethically responsible agents of change, supporting peace, justice, and strong institutions. This notably contributes to the achievement of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, and in particular Sustainable Development Goals 4 and 16. Additionally, the partnership intends to enable learners to be both motivated and capable to respond resiliently to crime and violence. The meeting had three broad objectives:To help clarify the conceptual foundation of the partnership;to identify the measures that can be taken in the education sector to promote a culture of lawfulness;and to identify effective educational approaches. Thus, the meeting is meant to elucidate core concepts and identify promising educational approaches in the promotion of a culture of lawfulness by asking fundamental questions, including: What constitutes the rule of law and a culture of lawfulness? How do we create demand for the rule of law? How do we ensure learners apply these principles? How do we ensure they survive in a context where there is no rule of law? 
Rethinking Pedagogy: Exploring the Potential Of Digital Technology In Achieving Quality Education Year of publication: 2019 Author: Lorena Alemán de la Garza | Alessandra Anichini | Péter Antal | Aurélie Beaune | Éric Bruillard | Diane Burke | Pedro Henrique Cacique Braga | Ruma Chakravarti | Sriya Chakravarti | Deng Chen | Lidiya Chikalova | Helen Crompton | Ilana De Almeida Souza Concilio | William Cope | Lorenz Denks | Matthew Farber | Giovanni Fonseca | Pintér Gergely | Marcela Georgina Gómez Zermeño | Russell Hazard | Laura Hosman | Mary Kalantzis | Kojanitz László | Xavier Levoin | Kristen Linzy | Arnab Mandal | Yoko Mochizuki | Ariam Mogos | Tünde-Lengyel Molnár | Matthew Montebello | Sadaqat Mulla | Sandra Gudiño Paredes | Christelle Pauty-Combemore | Boyka Parfitt | Réka Racsko | Irais Monserrat Santillán Rosas | Khitam Shraim | Jisoo Song | Avgoustos Tsinakos Corporate author: Mahatma Gandhi Institute of Education for Peace and Sustainable Development (MGIEP) With the exponential growth of digitally mediated communication, digital media and gaming, the landscape of what we understand as learning environments is changing significantly. Today the use of digital technology in education is attracting considerable public and policy attention as
well as private investment. With a rise in discourses both heralding and cautioning against the use of digital technology in education, there is a need to pool the expertise and experience on the use of technology in education from around the world to advance public debate and evidence-informed policymaking. Based on the literature review, mapping of digital education resources in circulation, and examples of implementation of digital education initiatives from around the world, this report aims to provide insights that would help lead to the wise, innovative and ethical use of digital technology in education as a new dimension in achieving SDG 4 — inclusive and equitable quality education and lifelong learning opportunities for all. By so doing, it also attempts to contribute to a rethink of teaching and learning in the face of enormous opportunities and challenges brought about by digital technology in the times of change and turmoil.

Towards Mongolia’s Long-Term Development Policy Vision 2050: Advancing Education Equity, Efficiency and Outcomes Year of publication: 2020 Corporate author: Mongolia Ministry of Education, Culture, Science and Sports | World Bank This report seeks to synthesize and analyze education outcomes with a view of identifying the main priorities for strengthening the education sector in support of Mongolia’s Sustainable Development Vision 2050. The report highlights data and findings generated from a series of source reports (see bibliography) related to the goals and targets set out in the Vision 2050. The report is composed of six thematic chapters: Access; Equity; Internal Efficiency, Education Cost and Finance; External Efficiency; Management. Each chapter will include an overview of the current situation and recent development with a focus on, key achievements and persistent challenges. As a synthesis report, the information on each topic is not exhaustive but rather seeks to present key findings. Specific activities highlighted in the Vision 2050 have been included at the beginning of each chapter and a complete mapping by activity is annexed (Annex 1. Vision 2050 Chapter mapping). This synthesis report draws on conclusions, finding, data and surveys produced in collaboration with MECSS by the Asian Development Bank, the Global Partnership for Education and the World Bank. The synthesis also draws from key UNESCO reports. The scope, research, and focus of the source reports differ, and precise findings are, on occasions, incongruent however the overall conclusions are fundamentally compatible. Whereas most of the source reports focus on one or two key stages, the synthesis report seeks to extract cross-cutting and/or recurring challenges that have an impact, positive or negative, on equity, efficiency and outcomes which ultimately may contribute to the implementation of Vision 2050. Mongolia’s State Education Policy (2014-2024) states: ‘Education is the main key factor of each citizen’s lifelong support and guarantee of life quality, and of the State’s societal and economical, science and technological development, and guarantee of national independence and security. Mongolian State shall develop education as a leading sector in society’.
