PôleMag n° 27: IIEP Pôle de Dakar information magazine, February 2018 Year of publication: 2018 Corporate author: UNESCO IIEP Regional Office for Africa Strengthening the resilience of education systems through planning that is adapted for crisis situations is a priority for IIEP. Together with our main partners, the institute has developed strategic orientations and tools dedicated to educational planning that is adapted to crisis situations. Based on our experience on this theme in Africa, we are also working with UNICEF to develop a new methodology to analyse risks and vulnerabilities. Mitigating the impact of crises calls for strengthening relationships with partners. Planning adapted to vulnerabilities should facilitate dialogue between development and humanitarian actors so that intervention plans are coordinated and aligned with government priorities. A dollar invested in risk reduction could save up to seven dollars in rebuilding costs. Taking the risks into account in the analysis and planning of education systems is therefore a wise investment.

Changing minds, not the climate: the role of education Year of publication: 2017 Corporate author: UNESCO Education is the most powerful element in preparing societies for the global challenges that climate change brings. It equips individuals, communities and the wider world with the understanding, skills and attitudes to engage in shaping green, low emission and climate-resilient societies. Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) is not an ‘extra’ but rather an integral part of any strategy to combat the effects of climate change, put into practice a global agreement and achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It acts to raise awareness and change behaviours and attitudes and enables people to make informed decisions about their lives. The heads of UNESCO and UNFCCC agree that “education provides the skills people need to thrive in the new sustainable economy, working in areas such as renewable energy, smart agriculture, forest rehabilitation, the design of resource-efficient cities, and sound management of healthy ecosystems. Perhaps most important, education can bring about a fundamental shift in how we think, act, and discharge our responsibilities toward one another and the planet.” ESD is increasingly recognized around the world as a key enabler for a more sustainable future. 
Ending school bullying: Focus on the Arab States and North Africa UNESCO’s contribution to the policy dialogue on bullying and learning organized by the Regional Center for Educational Planning United Arab Emirates Year of publication: 2019 Corporate author: UNESCO Bullying is a form of school violence. According to an agreed international definition, bullying is characterised by aggressive behaviour that involves unwanted, negative actions and an imbalance of power or strength between the perpetrator or perpetrators and the victim. Unlike isolated incidents of school violence, bullying is also characterised by repetition over time. The number of repetitions may vary and, for example, major surveys that collect data on bullying measure the frequency of bullying in different ways. The international Sustainable Development Goal Thematic Indicator 4.a.2 that measures the ‘percentage of students who experienced bullying during the past 12 months, by sex’, which was adopted in 2018, defines that the frequency of aggressions should be at least once or twice a month or more for a student to be considered a victim of bullying. It is important to note that here is no standard definition of bullying across the six international surveys that collect data on the prevalence of bullying. Some of them do not even provide a definition. These surveys are the following:Two international surveys that measure the health behaviours of students as well as protective factors including school climate: the WHO Global School-based Student Health Survey (GSHS) and the Health Behaviours in School-aged Child survey (HBSC) conducted by the HBSC Consortium.Four international surveys that focus mostly on the measurement of learning outcomes of students but also ask questions on the school climate including bullying: the Regional Comparative and Explanatory Study in Latin America (Estudio Regional Comparativo y Explicativo, ERCE in Spanish); theProgress in International Reading Literacy Study (PIRLS); the Programme for International Students Assessment (PISA); and the Trends in Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS).
