Teachers: changing lives (The UNESCO Courier no. 4, October-December 2019) Year of publication: 2019 Corporate author: UNESCO Certainly, everyone recognizes the key role teachers play. On a personal level, we can all name at least one teacher who made a difference – sometimes to such an extent that it redirected our whole lives. At the international level, the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), Goal 4 in particular, recognize the importance of teachers in the implementation of the Sustainable Development Agenda by 2030. Yet, the profession is being undermined. The development of cognitive neuroscience and the many applications of new technologies in the field of education are forcing the profession to adapt and reinvent itself. Ces profs qui changent le monde (Le Courrier de l'UNESCO 4, octobre-décembre 2019) Year of publication: 2019 Corporate author: UNESCO Certes, tout le monde reconnaît le rôle clé que jouent les enseignants. À titre personnel, chacun peut citer le nom d’au moins un professeur qui a compté, parfois au point de réorienter une vie entière. Sur le plan international, les Objectifs de développement durable (ODD) des Nations Unies, en particulier l’Objectif no 4, reconnaissent l’importance des enseignants dans la mise en œuvre du Programme de développement durable à l’horizon 2030. Pourtant, la profession est mise à mal. Le développement des neurosciences cognitives, les multiples applications des nouvelles technologies dans le domaine de l’éducation obligent la profession à s’adapter, se réinventer.

The report presents findings from a review of 117 relevant papers and reports, and lessons drawn from the implementation of 52 projects that use mobile learning for refugees and the actual use of 35 digital apps or platforms. While acknowledging a limited reach, the report identifies effective mobile solutions and organizational strategies that should be scaled up. 
Inclusive Education for Persons with Disabilities - Are We Making Progress? Year of publication: 2019 Corporate author: UNESCO | Leonard Cheshire (UK) The paper ‘Inclusive education for persons with disabilities – Are we making progress?’ has been developed as a background paper for the UNESCO International Forum on inclusion and equity in education – Every learner matters, being held in Cali, Colombia from 11-13 September 2019. The Forum is being organised in commemoration of the 25th anniversary of the passing of the Salamanca Statement and Framework for Action. The paper will explore the global progress towards inclusive education, the successes achieved and learnings observed specifically in countries of the global South. In these countries the concerns of universal access to and retention in education is still a concern for many governments, but large-scale exclusion of children with disabilities (an estimated 32 million or 1 out of 3 are out of school) remains the order of the day and is not always high on government agendas.

El Foro ha sido organizado para conmemorar el 25 aniversario de la aprobación de la Declaración de Salamanca y Marco de Acción sobre Necesidades Educativas Especiales. En este informe se explora el avance mundial hacia la educación inclusiva, los éxitos logrados y las conclusiones observadas específicamente en países del hemisferio sur, donde los problemas en torno al acceso universal a la educación y la continuidad en ella siguen siendo motivo de preocupación para numerosos gobiernos y donde la exclusión a gran escala de niños con discapacidad (se estima que unos 32 millones de niños no están escolarizados, lo que supone 1 de cada 3) sigue estando a la orden del día y no siempre es una prioridad en los programas gubernamentales.
