Right to Higher Education: Unpacking the International Normative Framework in Light of Current Trends and Challenges Year of publication: 2022 Corporate author: UNESCO | Right to Education Initiative (UK) The right to higher education is well-established in international human rights law. It requires states to progressively introduce free higher education and ensure that all have access on the basis of capacity. Yet, access to education is unequal from the very early years, which together with deep-rooted discrimination in education as well as differences in upbringing, often result in unfair admission procedures when reaching higher education. Drastic changes worldwide, due to rising inequalities, human movement, growing digitalization and the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, are further challenging how this right can be concretely implemented. This publication seeks to bring clarity not only to existing obligations and rights, but also to unravel what aspects of the right to higher education might require further explanation in light of new contexts and challenges. It provides policy recommendations to guide states in their endeavour to ensure effective equal opportunities to higher education for all.
A New Social Contract for Education (The UNESCO Courier Special Edition; November 2021) Year of publication: 2021 Corporate author: UNESCO Reimagining Our Futures Together upholds the tradition of the major UNESCO reports that have already structured education policies throughout the world in the past. The Faure report, Learning to be, in 1972, and the Delors report, Learning: The Treasure Within, in 1996, have become benchmarks in the debate on learning. This third document presents a lucid assessment of the challenges confronting education today.Faced with the rapid changes in our environment, a change of direction is needed. We need to devote more importance to ecology; to provide students with the critical tools to detect misinformation, prejudices, and preconceived ideas; to strengthen teamwork, and to improve the professionalization of teachers. Beyond these imperatives, we must also rethink the multiple interdependencies, the links between generations and between cultures, and our relationship with living beings, to establish a new social contract for education.
Culture: Global Public Good (The UNESCO Courier no. 3; July-September 2022) Year of publication: 2022 Corporate author: UNESCO Culture is what defines us in space and time – our past and present roots, our prospects.

In the words of Javier Pérez de Cuéllar, former Secretary-General of the United Nations, culture has a role “as a desirable end in itself, as giving meaning to our existence”. Today, more than ever, we need to find meaning, we need universality, we need culture in all its diversity.
