Kit de Plaidoyer pour la promotion de l'éducation multilingue: y compris les exclus Year of publication: 2007 Corporate author: UNESCO Bangkok 
Learning to live together Year of publication: 2014 Corporate author: UNESCO Bangkok The importance of LTLT has increased in recent years. Indeed, relevant competencies appear to be gaining focus in international frameworks and educational initiatives across countries. This is all the more necessary as Voogt and Roblin (2012) argue, given the demands of our increasingly knowledge-based society in which “ideas and knowledge function as commodities” (p. 299 –300) and to which effective social and emotional skills are critical. It is perhaps all the more critical given the multivariate global challenges in the 21st Century and the need for unified global commitment to effectively combat these challenges. In this context, the significance of LTLT is reflected in both the rise of and growing interest in Global Citizenship Education (GCE), Education for Sustainable Development (ESD), Education for International Understanding (EIU) as well as peace and human rights education. The UN Secretary-General’s Global Education First Initiative, which lists ‘Fostering Global Citizenship’ as one of its three global priorities, also implicitly recognizes the significance of LTLT as a precursor to the building of a more peaceful society, one in which discrimination is intolerable and common challenges such as climate change and abject poverty are tackled together.Yet despite the significance of LTLT in the 21st Century, and despite numerous international initiatives to foster LTLT competencies, there is a large gap of evidence identifying how this supposition is translated into effective policy and curricula, and eventually into the reality of schools, teachers and learners. This report is a response to this gap, and attempts to understand how ten selected countries in the Asia-Pacific region – Afghanistan, Australia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, Nepal, The Philippines, Republic of Korea, Sri Lanka and Thailand – have reflected and integrated LTLT into their education policies and initiatives. This variety of countries aims to reflect their diverse experiences in terms of reflecting LTLT through their education systems. By exploring a number of areas, namely policy, curricula, teachers and assessment, this study aims to identify what has so far been achieved in education systems of the Asia-Pacific region in the area of LTLT.This report is therefore targeted predominantly at education policy makers, researchers, academics as well as education practitioners of the Asia-Pacific region. Given its connection to Global Citizenship Education and other relevant international initiatives around sustainability and peace education, this report is also relevant to UNESCO’s partner organizations and the broader educational development community.This report will first present the research framework for the study, before exploring the social and economic contexts in the ten selected countries and wider regional factors in the Asia-Pacific in relation to global challenges in Chapter Two. Chapter Three will then examine national policy frameworks, including the vision of those policies in defining LTLT in education. Chapter Four focuses on the national curriculum in selected countries and the extent to which they incorporate learning objectives, subjects, and extra-curricular activities reflecting the concept of LTLT and related skills and competencies. In Chapter Five, teaching practices are examined, including the role of teachers and teacher education, as well as teaching methods and application of media and information literacy (MIL) in the classroom. Chapter Six then looks at assessment, and how far countries have attempted to develop assessment frameworks that measure the skills and competencies related to LTLT. Finally, Chapter Seven provides reflections and conclusions based on the main findings of the study, while also identifying trends across policy domains, shortcomings and some policy considerations. 
Guidelines for education sector plan appraisal Year of publication: 2015 Corporate author: UNESCO International Institute for Educational Planning (IIEP) | Global Partnership for Education (GPE) At the World Education Forum, in Dakar in 2000, the international community pledged that no country with a credible plan to achieve the Education for All goals would be thwarted by a lack of resources. Since then, the development of an education sector plan (ESP) has become a priority in many countries. ESPs present the policies and strategies for national education reform, and are a powerful tool for coordinating partners and for mobilizing additional domestic and external resources. They have become a critical instrument for governments to signal to all potential investors that their education policies are credible, sustainable, and worthy of investment.The consensus on the need for credible ESPs is strong. However, what does a credible plan require in terms of government leadership, knowledge and data, institutional and human capacities, and dialogue among the education stakeholders? What are the criteria that establish the credibility of a plan? The purpose of these guidelines is to assist education stakeholders in appraising the soundness, relevance, and coherence that form the credibility of ESPs. The primary objective of an appraisal report is to support the finalization of a credible ESP. It provides a fair review of the ESP strengths and areas in need of improvement before the endorsement by partners which signifies their commitment to support the implementation of the ESP. These guidelines are meant to be adapted to national contexts and needs. The stakeholders should discuss the scope and the methodology of the appraisal to be used, and develop a common vision of the whole process. The appraisal process should be participatory, and grounded in the political and technical dialogue for ESP development. It should involve consultations, interviews with key stakeholders, and field visits, in addition to a desk review of the ESP and any other relevant documents. It is good practice to organize a validation workshop of the appraisal report’s findings, conclusions, and recommendations to feed into the ESP finalization. The appraisal process should occur early enough in the ESP development process to allow time for decision-makers to open consultations on these conclusions and recommendations in order to improve the final version of the ESP. Guide pourl’évaluation d’un plan sectoriel d’éducation Year of publication: 2015 Corporate author: UNESCO International Institute for Educational Planning (IIEP) | Global Partnership for Education (GPE) Le Partenariat mondial pour l’éducation (GPE, du sigle anglais) est le seul mécanisme mondial et multilatéral visant à ce que tous les enfants puissent aller à l’école et y recevoir une éducation de qualité. Rassemblant près de 60 gouvernements de pays en développement, ainsi que des gouvernements donateurs, des organisations de la société civile, des fondations privées, des institutions internationales, des enseignants et le secteur privé, il propose un soutien financier pour l’élaboration et la mise en œuvre de plans sectoriels d’éducation de qualité dans les pays les plus pauvres. Le GPE réunit dirigeants nationaux et mondiaux pour concevoir des stratégies coordonnées, donnant à chaque enfant l’opportunité d’apprendre dans un contexte éducatif stimulant et sûr. En soutenant des programmes de développement qui visent à atteindre les objectifs éducatifs d’un pays (parité, bons résultats d’apprentissage, accès universel à l’enseignement primaire), le Partenariat veille à ce que les investissements dans le secteur de l’éducation portent leurs fruits. Le GPE a contribué à améliorer les résultats des pays en matière d’éducation, non seulement en réunissant ses partenaires pour élaborer des plans sectoriels d’éducation, dont la qualité est quantifiable, mais aussi en investissant dans des domaines stratégiquement essentiels mais sous-financés de ces plans, et en mobilisant l’expertise des partenaires nationaux pour tirer le meilleur parti de leurs atouts respectifs. Le GPE a alloué 3,9 milliards de dollars EU au cours des dix dernières années, en soutien aux réformes éducatives dans certains des pays les plus pauvres du monde. En 2014, près de la moitié de ses financements a été attribuée à des pays fragiles ou touchés par des conflits. Guía para la evaluación de un plan sectorial de educación Year of publication: 2015 Corporate author: UNESCO International Institute for Educational Planning (IIEP) | Global Partnership for Education (GPE) La Alianza Mundial para la Educación (GPE, por sus siglas en inglés) es la única alianza multilateral global cuya misión es conseguir que todos los niños y niñas estén escolarizados en un sistema educativo de calidad.

La GPE reúne a líderes mundiales y nacionales para apoyar estrategias coordinadas que ofrezcan a todos los niños y niñas la oportunidad de aprender en un entorno de aprendizaje seguro y adecuado. La Alianza Global, mediante el apoyo a programas de desarrollo enfocados a alcanzar las metas educativas de cada país, tales como la paridad de género, resultados de aprendizaje de calidad y acceso universal a la educación primaria, garantiza que la inversión en educación valga la pena. Hemos ayudado a mejorar los resultados nacionales en educación gracias al trabajo conjunto de socios en la elaboración de planes sectoriales de educación, medibles y de calidad, a la inversión en componentes del plan que eran estratégicamente importantes y que no estaban suficientemente financiados y a la activación del expertise de socios en el país que han aportado su ventaja comparativa. La Alianza Mundial para la Educación ha asignado 3.900 millones de dólares en los últimos diez años para apoyar reformas educativas en los países más pobres de mundo. Prácticamente lamitad de la financiación de 2014 se destinó a estados frágiles o países en situación de conflicto.

Education for developing a global Omani citizen: current practices and challenges Year of publication: 2014 Author: Saif Al-Maamari Corporate author: Redfame Publishing Oman is a developing country which reformed its educational system in 1998 in order to meet the challenges of the 21st century, especially economic challenges. Strength of national identity and developing a sense of global citizenship were among the priorities of the new educational reform. This paper is based on a review of current practices regarding global citizenship education in educational system. The purpose of this theoretical study was to explore the current provision of the aspects of global citizenship education in Omani schools. Specifically, the study attempts to identify the current practices that are implemented by Omani schools to help Omani students to develop a sense of effective global citizenship. The study indicates that Omani education is not nationally centered as it aims to develop students who have global awareness. The study shows employing different approaches to develop a sense of global citizenship, namely, a separate school subject; integrated theme in social studies education, participation in some international initiatives in global citizenship education, and celebrating the international days and decades.
