Fostering national and global citizenship: an example from South Africa (Social Studies and the Young Learner, vol 21, no. 1, september/october 2008) Year of publication: 2008 Author: Omiunota Nelly Ukpokodu Corporate author: National Council for the Social Studies Multicultural and global scholars urge that we prepare the young for national and global democratic citizenship given the increasing interdependence and challenging realities for today. Young people desire to be a part of the solution to global problems, but they must be educated about what those problems are and how solutions can be arrived at. As has been seen in the U.S. presidential campaign, young people care about their communities, country, and planet, and they are volunteering and voting at record rates. We must take responsibility to plant the seeds of critical citizenship if we are to foster a more sustainable, peaceful, just, and prosperous world. Educator Sheldon Berman sums it up by writing: It is important for teachers to tell young people about the success stories of others, students who have reclaimed forests, cleaned up rivers, improved their school environment, helped the homeless. They need to hear about the Mother Teresas and the Martin Luther Kings, of course, but also about the people who live down the street who are doing what they can to improve the neighbourhood and about the many organizations that make a difference in our communities. We must put students in touch with these people and organizations so that they can see how deeply people care about their world and how worthwhile it is to participate in creating change.

Ensuring High Quality Primary Education for Children from Mobile Populations: A Desk Study Year of publication: 2017 Author: Stephanie Bengtsson | Caroline Dyer Corporate author: Educate A Child (EAC) | German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (GIZ) This study focuses on provision for primary school-aged children amongst communities of refugees and Internally Displaced People (IDPs), mobile pastoralists and seasonally migrating workers. For refugee and IDP children, policy, coordination and implementation challenges include: inconsistent ratification and enforcement of conventions and agreements protecting refugees and IDPs; the disproportionate impact of forced displacement on low and middle income countries (LMICs); the lack of a shared agenda among a wide range of stakeholders with differing mandates; and inadequate forced displacement terminology. Promising and emerging policy, coordination and implementation strategies include: expanding existing rights documents and agreements and building policy from the ground up; enshrining forcibly displaced people’s rights to education in national laws and policy; genuine engagement with affected communities; utilising the Education Cluster and other existing multi-stakeholder networks for knowledge sharing and collaboration; and collaborating across sectors to address the needs of the whole child. Financing challenges include: unpredictable and low funding for refugee and IDP education; weak capacity to absorb funds at the national and local level; an over-reliance on short-term financing mechanisms; donor dependence and a lack of funding sustainability; and inappropriate distribution of funds within education programming.

The issue includes four research articles, one interview, two field notes, and three book reviews.The contributing authors describe and analyze how international agencies, state bureaucracies, local organizations and their partners, and refugees shape the structures that influence the education of refugees, both historically and in the present, and how these actors imagine their roles. In so doing, the authors help to untangle key questions about how responsibility for meeting refugees’ educational needs and aspiration is taken up and shared. The articles in this issue include immediate and long-term lessons for how refugee education is designed and experienced.

Résultant d’une mise en commun des compétences (littératie et numératie), des connaissances, et de leurs niveaux de maitrise, éléments pris en compte dans les différents programmes d’alphabétisation, il a été développé et validé par l’ensemble des pays de la RAMAA et est aujourd’hui utilisé dans ces derniers par les directions chargées de l’alphabétisation des ministères de l’Éducation et par les organisations de la société civile. Moyennant des adaptations, le référentiel de la RAMAA peut servir de point de départ pour d’autres pays qui ne sont pas encore dotés d’un tel instrument mais souhaitent cependant standardiser leurs offres de formation et en améliorer la qualité.
