Anytime, Anywhere Learning for Improved Education Results in Russia: Case Study by the UNESCO-Fazheng Project on Best Practices in Mobile Learning Year of publication: 2019 Author: Alexander Uvarov | Julia Varlamova Corporate author: UNESCO The Harmony School in Izhevsk is a regular municipal school located in one of the city districts of the capital city of the Udmurt Republic in Russia. Students come to Harmony school from different cultural and social environments, with various physical and mental abilities, and the school is eager to create the best conditions for learning and developing for each of them. In 2012, Harmony School took a part in the School of Digital Age project supported by the federal Skolkovo project and the Russian branch of Microsoft. The mobile technologies in the school are implemented as a tool for anytime and anywhere learning to differentiate and individualize learning to improve education results.According to the school vision, mobile learning technologies should provide all students and teachers anytime and anywhere access to a variety of teaching and learning materials and digital instruments and students who are unable to attend classes should be able to continue their systematic studies. The mobile learning model should enable every student to experience independent learning activities in the digital educational environment and improve their educational results with new methods and organizational forms of teaching and learning. To implement this vision, the new school-wide teaching and learning practices including online/blended learning, mobile learning in the classroom and outside-classroom learning have been developed and used actively. The new in-school teachers’ professional development model has become a crucially important element for the project’s success. 
Measuring Global Citizenship Education: A Collection of Practice and Tools Year of publication: 2017 Corporate author: Center for Universal Education at Brookings | UNESCO | UN Global Education First Initiative - Youth Advocacy Group (YAG) The idea of global citizenship has existed for several millennia. In ancient Greece, Diogenes declared himself a citizen of the world,1 while the Mahaupanishads of ancient India spoke of the world as one family.2 Today, education for global citizenship is recognized in many countries as a strategy for helping children and youth prosper in their personal and professional lives and contribute to building a better world.This toolkit is intended to shed light on one aspect of operationalizing global citizenship education (GCED): how it can be measured. This toolkit is the result of the collective efforts of the Global Citizenship Education Working Group (GCED-WG), a collegium of 90 organizations and experts co-convened by the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), the Center for Universal Education (CUE) at the Brookings Institution, and the United Nations Secretary General’s Global Education First Initiative’s Youth Advocacy Group (GEFI-YAG). To gather the measurement tools in this collection, the working group surveyed GCED programs and initiatives that target youth (ages 15–24).3 For the purposes of this project, GCED was defined as any educational effort that aims to provide the skills, knowledge, and experiences and to encourage the behaviors, attitudes, and values that allow young persons to be agents of long-term, positive changes in their own lives and in the lives of people in their immediate and larger communities (with the community including the environment).This toolkit begins with a brief review of opinions on why GCED is important and the variety of definitions of GCED. We follow the report with a catalog of 50 profiles of assessment efforts, each describing practices and tools to measure GCED at the classroom, local, and national levels. Note that the survey does not represent an exhaustive list but may be regarded as a living document that will grow as the field of GCED itself grows around the world.Broadly speaking, the assessment efforts in this survey may be categorized across achieving three goals: (1) fostering the values/attitudes of being an agent of positive change; (2) building knowledge of where, why, and how to take action toward positive change; and (3) developing self-efficacy for taking effective actions toward positive change.Today, global challenges such as climate change, migration, and conflict will require people to do more than just think about solutions. They will require effective action, by both individuals and communities. Education for global citizenship is one means to help young people develop the knowledge, skills, behaviors, attitudes, and values to engage in effective individual and collective action at their local levels, with an eye toward a long-term, better future at the global level. We offer this toolkit to provide guidance for educators, policymakers, non-governmental organizations, civil society, and researchers, and to inform this conversation. 
Informe de seguimiento de la educación en el mundo 2020: Inclusión y educación: Todos y todas sin excepción Year of publication: 2020 Corporate author: Global Education Monitoring Report Team | UNESCO En el Informe de Seguimiento de la Educación en el Mundo 2020 se examinan los mecanismos sociales, económicos y culturales que discriminan a niños, jóvenes y adultos desprotegidos, manteniéndolos excluidos de la educación o marginados dentro de ella. Estimulados por su compromiso de hacer realidad el derecho a la educación inclusiva, los países están ampliando su visión de la inclusión en la educación y otorgando a la diversidad un lugar central en sus sistemas. Sin embargo, la aplicación de leyes y políticas bienintencionadas suele flaquear. El informe, publicado a principios del decenio de acción que culmina en 2030 y en el contexto de la crisis de Covid-19 que ha exacerbado las desigualdades subyacentes, sostiene que la resistencia a atender las necesidades de todos los educandos es una verdadera amenaza para el logro de los objetivos mundiales de educación.En Inclusión y educación: todos y todas sin excepción se definen prácticas en materia de gobernanza y finanzas; planes de estudios, manuales escolares y evaluaciones; formación de los docentes; infraestructura escolar; y relaciones con los alumnos, los padres y las comunidades que pueden desbloquear el proceso hacia la inclusión. Se formulan recomendaciones de política para que la diversidad de los educandos sea una fuerza que se valora, una fuerza de cohesión social.Dos nuevos sitios web complementan la cuarta edición del Informe de Seguimiento de la Educación en el Mundo. Education Profiles (Perfiles educativos) describe la manera en que los países abordan la inclusión, y constituye un medio útil para el diálogo sobre políticas. Education Progress (El Progreso de la educación) brinda la oportunidad de interactuar con los datos y explorar una serie de indicadores del ODS 4. 
[요약문] 세계 교육 현황 보고서 요약본 2020: 포용과 교육; 모두는 모든 이를 의미한다 (All Means All) Year of publication: 2020 Corporate author: 유네스코 | 세계교육현황보고서팀 『2020 세계 교육 현황 보고서』는 취약계층 아동, 청소년 및 청년을 차별하여 교육에서 배제시키거나 소외시키는 사회적, 경제적, 문화적 메커니즘을 살펴본다. 포용적 교육에 대한 권리를 실현하겠다는 약속에 힘입어 모든 국가는 다양성을 교육제도의 핵심에 두기 위해 포용에 대한 비전을 확대하고 있다. 그러나 선의의 법과 정책의 시행은 종종 비틀거리곤 한다. 2030년까지 10년간의 실행이 시작되는 시점이자 근본적인 불평등을 악화시킨 코로나19 위기의 중간에 발표된 이 보고서는 모든 학습자의 요구를 해결하는 것에 대한 저항이 세계 교육 목표를 달성하는데 실질적인 위협이라고 주장한다. 『포용과 교육: 모두는 모든 이를 의미한다(ALL MEANS ALL)』는 거버넌스와 재정, 교육과정, 교과서 및 평가, 교사 교육, 학교 인프라, 그리고 포용의 과정을 밝힐 수 있는 학생, 학부모, 지역사회와의 관계 등에서 많은 실천들을 확인할 수 있다. 이 보고서는 학습자의 다양성을 사회적 응집력으로 만들기 위한 정책 권고안을 제공한다.

(Le Courrier de l'UNESCO no. 2; Avril-Juin 2018) Year of publication: 2018 Corporate author: Organisation des Nations Unies pour l'éducation, la science et la culture (UNESCO) Selon les uns, l’Anthropocène n’est qu’un autre nom pour l’époque que nous appelons Holocène, les humains ayant commencé à exercer une pression sur l’environnement depuis 10 000ans, c’est-à-dire depuis leur sédentarisation et l’invention de l’agriculture. Selon d’autres, l’Anthropocène commencerait autour de 1800, avec la révolution industrielle. D’autres encore voient l’Anthropocène éclore dupremier champignon atomique de 1945. Malgré ces divergences, très rares sont ceux qui ne reconnaissent pas qu’au cours du dernier demi-siècle l’état de la planète s’est dégradé plus rapidement et plus dramatiquement que jamais : amasgigantesques de plastique sur les plages et dans les mers, développement sans précédent de nouveaux matériaux qui couvrent la surface terrestre et ne se recyclent que très peu, sols gorgés d’engrais, augmentation du taux d’acidité des mers, tauxde pollution sans précédent, érosion des forêts tropicales, dérèglement desécosystèmes, extinction massive des espèces et diminution drastique de la biodiversité, réchauffement climatique...À qui la faute ? Auxhumains – répond lamajorité des scientifiques. Reste à savoir si nous devrions tous porter la même charge deresponsabilité. Certains blâmant avant tout le système capitaliste né en Occident, parlent de Capitalocène ou d’Occidentalocène. Courons-nous à la catastrophe? Des voix s’élèvent pour prophétiser la fin du monde! Des notions comme Chtulhucène ou Thanatocène sont avancées pour signifier que le monstre rôde, quela mort nous guette... Des experts, bien plus modérés, n’en sont pas moins inquiets face à l’indécision des décideurs. «Tout se passe comme si l’humanité, léthargique, attendait la fin du film et le moment où les héros viendront tout arranger et où nous serons tous heureux pour toujours», lira-t-on dans ces pages.Le débat fait rage, les solutions tardent à venir. Le Courrier fait le point.
