[Summary] Global Education Monitoring Report Summary 2020: Inclusion and Education; All Means All Year of publication: 2020 Corporate author: UNESCO | Global Education Monitoring Report Team The 2020 Global Education Monitoring Report looks at social, economic and cultural mechanisms that discriminate against disadvantaged children, youth and adults, keeping them out of education or marginalized in it. Spurred by their commitment to fulfil the right to inclusive education, countries are expanding their vision of inclusion in education to put diversity at the core of their systems. Yet implementation of well-meaning laws and policies often falters. Released at the start of the decade of action to 2030, and in the middle of the Covid-19 crisis, which has exacerbated underlying inequalities, the Report argues that resistance to addressing every learner’s needs is a real threat to achieving global education targets. [Résumé] Résumé du rapport mondial de suivi sur l’éducation 2020: Inclusion et éducation; Tous, sans exception Year of publication: 2020 Corporate author: Organisation des Nations Unies pour l'éducation, la science et la culture (UNESCO) | Global Education Monitoring Report Team L’édition 2020 du Rapport mondial de suivi sur l’éducation examine les mécanismes sociaux, économiques et culturels qui discriminent les enfants, les jeunes et les adultes défavorisés, les tenant à l’écart de l’éducation ou les marginalisant en son sein. Encouragés par leur engagement à réaliser le droit à l’éducation inclusive, les pays élargissent leur vision de l’inclusion dans l’éducation afin de placer la diversité au cœur de leurs systèmes. Pourtant, la mise en œuvre de lois et de politiques bien intentionnées échoue souvent. Publié au début de la décennie d’action à l’horizon 2030, et en pleine crise de COVID-19 qui a exacerbé les inégalités existantes, rapport affirme que la résistance à la prise en compte des besoins de chaque apprenant constitue une menace réelle pour la réalisation des objectifs mondiaux d’éducation. [Resumen] Resumen del informe de seguimiento de la educación en el mundo 2020: Inclusión y educación; Todos sin excepción Year of publication: 2020 Corporate author: Organización de las Naciones Unidas para la Educación, la Ciencia y la Cultura (UNESCO) | Global Education Monitoring Report Team 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. Pезюме всемирного доклада по мониторингу образования 2020: Инклюзивность и образование; для всех означает для всех Year of publication: 2020 Corporate author: Организация Объединенных Наций по вопросам образования, науки и культуры (UNESCO) | Global Education Monitoring Report Team Во Всемирном докладе по мониторингу образования за 2020 г. рассматриваются социальные, экономические и культурные механизмы, которые служат источниками дискриминации обездоленных детей, молодых людей и взрослых, не позволяя им получать образование или отводя им маргинальное место. В подтверждение своей приверженности делу осуществления права на инклюзивное образование страны расширяют свое видение инклюзивности в образовании, отводя разнообразию центральное место в рамках своих систем. Однако воплотить в жизнь правильные, по сути, законы и стратегии часто не удается. В настоящем докладе, вышедшем в начале десятилетия действий на период до 2030 г., в разгар кризиса COVID-19, усугубившего основные формы неравенства, утверждается, что отказ обеспечить удовлетворение потребностей каждого учащегося представляет собой реальную угрозу для решения глобальных задач в области образования. 
Human Rights: Back to the Future (The UNESCO Courier no. 4, October-December 2018) Year of publication: 2018 Corporate author: UNESCO Benedetto Croce, Aldous Huxley, Humayun Kabir, Harold J. Laski, Lo Chung-Shu, Salvador de Madariaga, Jacques Maritain, F.S.C. Northrop, Arnold Schoenberg, Pierre Teilhard de Chardin – these are some of the contributors to this issue of the Courier. To mark the seventieth anniversary of the Universal Declaration on Human Rights, adopted on 10 December 1948, we decided to take a detour into the past to enable us to better orient ourselves in the future. This explains the title of this issue: “Back to the Future”. Travelling back to 1946, when the world was grappling with the aftermath of the Second World War, “what kind of moral statement could the international community make that would adequately express its collective outrage and hope, however utopian, for a better future?” Mark Goodale discusses this massive international effort in his introductory article for our Wide Angle section, which he also guest-edited. The series of articles in this section uncovers a hitherto little-known part of the history of the Universal Declaration on Human Rights – the inquiry into the origins and philosophic bases of human rights. This initiative was decided upon during the first UNESCO General Conference (November-December 1946) and launched the following year by the Organization’s first Director-General, Julian Huxley. It was coordinated by the young French philosopher, Jacques Havet. For this project, UNESCO brought together leading intellectual figures of the post-war world, thus making an essential contribution to the reflection on human rights at the time. It remains amazingly relevant today. Equally relevant today are the drawings of Our Guest, the Peruvian artist Fernando Bryce, who derives his inspiration from this historic period “when the idea of progress was genuinely linked to a whole new perspective”. His series, The Book of Needs – which takes pages of the Courier between 1948 and 1954 and transforms them into works of art – is featured as a supplement in this issue. Droits de l’homme : retour vers le futur (Le Courrier de l’UNESCO no. 4, octobre-décembre 2018) Year of publication: 2018 Corporate author: Organisation des Nations Unies pour l'éducation, la science et la culture (UNESCO) Benedetto Croce, Aldous Huxley, Humayun Kabir, Harold J. Laski, Lo Chung-Shu, Jacques Maritain, F. S. C. Northrop, Arnold Schoenberg, Pierre Teilhard de Chardin : voici quelques-uns des contributeurs de ce numéro du Courrier. Pour marquer le soixante-dixième anniversaire de la Déclaration universelle des droits de l’homme, adoptée le 10 décembre 1948, nous avons décidé de faire un détour par le passé, afin de mieux nous orienter dans l’avenir. Ce qui explique le titre de ce numéro : « Retour vers le futur ». Nous sommes donc en 1946. Alors que le spectre de la guerre totale hante tous les esprits, « la communauté internationale a besoin de formuler un énoncé moral qui exprime adéquatement son indignation collective et son espoir (pour utopique qu'il fût) d'un avenir meilleur », explique Mark Goodale, auteur de l’article introductif et consultant pour Grand angle. Un dossier qui dévoile tout un pan méconnu de l’histoire de la Déclaration universelle des droits de l’homme : l’enquête mondiale sur les fondements philosophiques des droits de l’homme, décidée lors de la première Conférence générale de l’UNESCO (novembre-décembre 1946), lancée l’année suivante par le premier Directeur général, Julian Huxley, et coordonnée par le jeune philosophe français Jacques Havet. L’UNESCO a réuni autour de ce projet l’élite intellectuelle du monde de l'après-guerre et apporté ainsi une contribution essentielle à la réflexion sur les droits de l’homme. Elle demeure aujourd’hui d’une étonnante actualité. Tout aussi actuels sont les dessins de Notre invité, l’artiste péruvien Fernando Bryce qui puise son inspiration dans cette période historique « où l'idée de progrès ouvrait réellement de multiples perspectives ». Sa série The Book of Needs (Le livre des nécessités), qui transfigure en œuvres d’art des pages du Courrier des années 1948 - 1954, fait l’objet du supplément à ce numéro. Derechos humanos: regreso al futuro (El Correo de la UNESCO no. 4, Octubre-Diciembre 2018) Year of publication: 2018 Corporate author: Organización de las Naciones Unidas para la Educación, la Ciencia y la Cultura (UNESCO) Benedetto Croce, Aldous Huxley, Humayun Kabir, Harold J. Laski, Lo Chung-Shu, Salvador de Madariaga, Jacques Maritain, F. S. C. Northrop, Arnold Schoenberg, Pierre Teilhard de Chardin: estos son algunos de los colaboradores de este número de El Correo. Para conmemorar el 70 aniversario de la Declaración universal de los derechos humanos, adoptada el 10 de diciembre de 1948, decidimos hacer un recorrido por el pasado para orientarnos mejor en el futuro, lo cual explica el título de este número: “Regreso al futuro”. Nos encontramos pues en 1946. Mientras el espectro de la guerra mundial atormenta todas las conciencias, “la comunidad internacional necesita formular un enunciado moral que exprese adecuadamente su indignación colectiva y su esperanza (por utópica que fuese) de un futuro mejor”, explica Mark Goodale, autor del artículo introductorio y consultor para nuestra sección Gran angular. Una sección que desvela toda una parte desconocida de la historia de la Declaración universal de los derechos humanos: la encuesta mundial sobre los fundamentos filosóficos de los derechos del hombre, decidida durante la primera Conferencia General de la UNESCO (noviembre-diciembre de 1946), enviada el año siguiente por el primer Director General, Julian Huxley, y coordinada por el joven filósofo francés Jacques Havet. La UNESCO reunió en torno a este proyecto a la élite intelectual del mundo de la posguerra y aportó así una contribución fundamental a la reflexión sobre los derechos humanos. Una encuesta que aún hoy resulta de sorprendente actualidad. Igual de actuales son los dibujos de Nuestro invitado, el artista peruano Fernando Bryce, que encuentra su inspiración en este período histórico “donde la idea de progreso abría realmente múltiples perspectivas”. Su serie The Book of Needs (El libro de las necesidades), que transfigura en obras de arte algunas páginas de El Correo de los años 1948 - 1954, es objeto del suplemento de este número. 
Monitoring the implementation of the Lisbon Recognition Convention - Council of Europe Higher Education Series No. 23 Year of publication: 2019 Corporate author: UNESCO | Council of Europe In accordance with the Lisbon Recognition Convention, the Committee of the Convention shall oversee its implementation and guide the competent authorities in implementing the convention and in their consideration of applications for the recognition of foreign qualifications. The Rules of procedure (adopted by the Committee in Vilnius in 1999) reiterate this role – the function of the Committee is to promote the application of the convention and oversee its implementation. Article II. of the convention states that where the central authorities of a party are competent to make decisions in recognition cases, that party shall be immediately bound by the provisions of the convention and shall take the necessary measures to ensure the implementation of its provisions on its territory. Where the competence to make decisions in recognition matters lies with individual higher education institutions or other entities, each party, according to its constitutional situation or structure, shall transmit the text of this convention to those institutions or entities and shall take all possible steps to encourage the favourable consideration and application of its provisions. The provisions of Article II. are central to determining the obligations of the parties to the convention. This article places upon these parties an obligation to make sure that information on the provisions is disseminated to all competent recognition authorities, and that these institutions are encouraged to abide by the convention (Explanatory report to the convention). The objective of this monitoring exercise has been to oversee the implementation of the main provisions of the convention and to report to parties on the outcome of this monitoring, presenting the main findings and recommendations. This monitoring report is also a contribution to the commitment set out in the Yerevan Communiqué (2015) to review national legislation to ensure full compliance with the convention, and to ask the Convention Committee, in co-operation with the ENIC (Council of Europe and UNESCO European Network of National Information Centres on academic recognition and mobility) and NARIC (EU Network of National Academic Recognition Information Centres) networks, to prepare an analysis of the national legislation reports by the end of 2017, taking due account of this monitoring report. This is the first monitoring of implementation of the Lisbon Recognition Convention (LRC) since its signature in 1997. The questionnaire used for the monitoring exercise was drawn up by the Bureau of the Convention Committee, namely Gunnar Vaht, President of the Committee, Gayane Harutyunyan, Vice-President, Allan Bruun Pedersen, Vice-President, and Baiba Ramina, Rapporteur, together with the joint Council of Europe/UNESCO Secretariat. The monitoring covers the 10 main provisions of the convention and comprises 22 questions relating to implementation of the main principles. The questions focus primarily on how the convention requirements are regulated at national level and to what extent the rules are reflected in national legislation. In cases where some or all of the provisions are not regulated at national level and where the higher education institutions have total autonomy in establishing the principles of the convention, the aim has been to discover how national authorities oversee implementation of the principles of the convention at institutional level. As stated above, the objective of this monitoring report is to monitor implementation of the convention by the parties to the convention. The executive summary focuses on the key findings and the conclusions focus on the recommendations made by the Convention Committee Bureau, which will require political decisions from the Convention Committee and from national authorities for follow-up action. The various chapters of the report elaborate further on both the key findings and the recommendations. The questionnaire was sent to 53 states parties to the LRC, and replies were received from 50 countries. The initial deadline given was 15 February 2015, but this was extended to June 2015. The analysis by the members of the Convention Committee Bureau took place from June to November 2015 and was assisted and reviewed by the Council of Europe and UNESCO, the joint Secretariat of the LRCC Bureau.
