Migration: la solidarité internationale contre le nationalisme xénophobe Year of publication: 2018 Author: Tina Robiolle Moul Le sommet qui vient de se tenir à Bruxelles les 28 et 29 juin, confirme l’entêtement des dirigeant·e·s européen·ne·s dans une politique du pire qui, loin d’être le fruit de maladresses face à l’idée d’une invasion imaginaire de personnes étrangères, s’apparente à une stratégie explicite de coercition des populations en adoptant sans réserve les positions de l’extrême droite. La politique migratoire européenne, à l’image de celle des pays membres, reste aveugle à une compréhension plus globale des migrations qui est celle de la solidarité internationale. 
Accountability from a Human Rights Perspective: The Incorporation and Enforcement of the Right to Education in the Domestic Legal Order Year of publication: 2017 Corporate author: ActionAid International | Right to Education Initiative (UK) The aim of this paper is to reframe States’ political commitment to education under Education 2030 as a legal commitment the vast majority of States have already made under international human rights law. By recasting the content of SDG Four as part of the right to education, the legal obligations owed to that content can be invoked. This renders various elements of SDG Four, ifthe State in question has legally committed to the right to education and incorporated the right to education in their domestic legal orders, amenable to adjudication by competent mechanisms, offering the possibility of legal accountability through legal enforcement. 
Pan-African High Level Conference on Education, PACE 2018: conference report Year of publication: 2018 Corporate author: African Union | Government of the Republic of Kenya The Pan-African High-level Conference on Education (PACE 2018) was held in Nairobi, Kenya from 25th to 27th April 2018. PACE 2018 was convened by UNESCO, the Government of Kenya and the African Union, with the collaboration of the Association for the Development of Education in Africa (ADEA) and contributions from the Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG4) co-conveners. The initiative to organise the PACE 2018 came in the wake of a number of regional consultations organised in Sub Saharan Africa and the Arab states regions to focus attention on the way forward, following the adoption in 2015 of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal 4 on Education (SDG 4) and of the African Union’s Continental Education Strategy for Africa 2016-2025 (CESA 16-25). Conférence panafricaine de haut niveau sur l'éducation, PACE 2018: rapport de la conférence Year of publication: 2018 Corporate author: African Union | Government of the Republic of Kenya La Conférence panafricaine de haut niveau sur l’éducation (PACE 2018) s’est déroulée à Nairobi, au Kenya, du 25 au 27 avril 2018. Elle a été convoquée par l’UNESCO, le Gouvernement du Kenya et l’Union africaine, avec la collaboration de l’Association pour le Développement de l’Éducation en Afrique (ADEA) et des contributions des coorganisateurs de l’Objectif de développement durable 4 (ODD 4). L’initiative d’organiser la conférence PACE 2018 s’inscrit à la suite de plusieurs consultations régionales organisées dans les régions d’Afrique subsaharienne et des États arabes pour appeler l’attention sur la voie à suivre après l’adoption en 2015 de l’Objectif de développement durable 4 (ODD 4) sur l’éducation et de la Stratégie continentale de l’éducation pour l’Afrique de l’Union africaine (CESA 2016-2025) (CESA 16-25). 
Partnering for prosperity: education for green and inclusive growth; Global education monitoring report, 2016; summary Year of publication: 2017 Author: Sachs, Jeffrey D Corporate author: UNESCO. Director-General, 2009-2017 (Bokova, I.G.) This Report makes three messages starkly clear. Firstly, the urgent need for new approaches. On current trends only 70% of children in low income countries will complete primary school in 2030, a goal that should have been achieved in 2015. We need the political will, the policies, the innovation and the resources to buck this trend. Secondly, if we are serious about SDG 4, we must act with a sense of heightened urgency, and with long-term commitment. Failure to do so will not only adversely affect education but will hamper progress towards each and every development goal: poverty reduction, hunger eradication, improved health, gender equality and women’s empowerment, sustainable production and consumption, resilient cities, and more equal and inclusive societies. Lastly, we must fundamentally change the way we think about education and its role in human well-being and global development. Now, more than ever, education has a responsibility to foster the right type of skills, attitudes and behavior that will lead to sustainable and inclusive growth. 
Education and Migration Policy Paper: Language, Education and Migration in the Context of Forced Displacement (Policy Brief Series, no 1) Year of publication: 2018 Author: Francine Sara Menashy | Zeena Zhakaria A surge in global migration, spurred in part by conflict, emergency, and fragility, has elicited increased attention to the specific needs of migrant and refugee learners. The international community faces an urgent global challenge: more people are now displaced than since the end of the Second World War. Half of those displaced are under the age of 18. Further, while two-thirds of international migrants are in high-income countries, 85% of those displaced by conflict and natural disaster now live in low-income countries. Forced displacement creates particular vulnerabilities, including access to education free from discrimination. Meeting Sustainable Development Goal 4 by 2030 demands that all children, youth, and adults receive an inclusive and equitable quality education. Education is a right that plays a critical role in advancing both sustainable development and peace. Yet refugees, migrants, and asylum seekers encounter numerous barriers to an inclusive andequitable quality education in host countries worldwide. 
Reforms and Changes in Governance of Higher Education in Africa Year of publication: 2016 Author: N.V. Varghese Corporate author: UNESCO International Institute for Educational Planning (IIEP) Higher education in Africa has received favourable political attention and funding support in the period following independence. The rationale for state funding was questioned in the 1980s, and the higher education reforms in the 1990s centred on finding alternative ways of financing and on improving the managerial efficiency of universities. This focus was reflected in the market-friendly reforms that led to the privatization of public institutions and the promotion of private institutions. These reforms resulted in substantial changes in the governance and management of higher education. IIEP initiated a research study to analyse the reforms and to understand their effects on the governance of higher education at institutional and national levels. Based on studies carried out in Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria, and South Africa, this book shows how the reforms have effected changes in the governance and management of institutions of higher education in Africa. 
Accountability for Gender Equality Year of publication: 2018 Author: Elaine Unterhulter | Amy North | Orlanda Ward The aim of this paper is to consider approaches to understanding and evaluating accountability in education from the perspective of concerns with gender equality in education. This task has a number of facets and complexities, because ‘gender’ is not one simple set of relationships, and the notion of gender equality in education can be read in a number of different ways. Thus developing adequate conceptualizations for the key terms (accountability, and gender equality and education) needs to take account of gender as a particularly fluid, contextually located and contested idea signaling processes, which link with different formulations of policy and practice to enhance gender equality and accountability in education.In this paper we look at a range of different meanings of accountability, distilled in the main GEM Report (UNESCO, 2017) and consider their implications in relation to debates about gender and gender equality in education. The aim of the paper is to develop a ‘bespoke’ interpretation of accountability and different forms of gender equality in education through which we can assess a number of research studies and country examples of forms of accountability.This paper is also background paper prepared for the 2018 Global education monitoring report gender review: Meeting our commitments to gender equality in education.
