How Can People With Disabilities Find Employment in Uzbekistan? Year of publication: 2023 Author: Abror Kurbanmuratov As in most other Central Asian countries, it is difficult for people with disabilities in Uzbekistan to survive. In addition to problems with health and social adaptation, it is difficult for them to find employment and feel themselves needed by society. Despite the adopted state laws and support programs, most cities and districts lack mechanisms for their implementation, as well as adapted infrastructure, accessible environment and employment system. Как трудоустроиться людям с инвалидностью в Узбекистане? Year of publication: 2023 Author: Abror Kurbanmuratov Как и в большинстве других стран Центральной Азии, людям с инвалидностью в Узбекистане выживать сложно. Помимо проблем со здоровьем, социальной адаптацией, им трудно трудоустроиться, почувствовать себя нужными обществу гражданами. Несмотря на принятые государственные законы и программы поддержки, в большинстве городов и районов отсутствуют механизмы их реализации, как и адаптированная инфраструктура, доступная среда и система трудоустройства. 
ПЕРЕОСМЫСЛИМ НАШЕ БУДУЩЕЕ Year of publication: 2021 Corporate author: International Commission on the Futures of Education | UNESCO Наше человечество, наша планета находятся в опасности, пандемия лишь подтвердила нашу хрупкость и взаимозависимость, чтобы изменить ход вещей и переосмыслить наше будущее, необходимы неотложные совместные действия; в этом докладе Международной комиссии по перспективам образования подтверждается способность образования к осуществлению коренных изменений. Перед нами стоит двойная задача – выполнить невыполненное обещание обеспечить право на качественное образование для каждого ребёнка, молодого человека и взрослого и полностью реализовать преобразующий потенциал образования, способного проложить путь к устойчивому коллективному будущему. Для этого нам нужен новый общественный договор в области образования, который сможет устранять проявления несправедливости, преобразуя будущее.Этот новый общественный договор должен основываться на принципах прав человека, недопущения дискриминации, социальной справедливости, уважения жизни, человеческого достоинства и культурного разнообразия. Он должен включать в себя этику заботы о людях, взаимности и солидарности. Он должен укреплять позиции образования как общественного дела и общего блага.Этот доклад, который готовился два года на основе глобального процесса консультаций с участием миллиона человек, предлагает правительствам, учреждениям, организациям и гражданам всего мира разработать новый общественный договор в области образования, который поможет нам построить мирное, справедливое и устойчивое будущее, отвечающее всеобщим интересам.Представленные здесь концепции, принципы и предложения являются лишь отправной точкой. Их воплощение в практику в конкретных условиях – это коллективная работа. Уже есть много положительных моментов, и в настоящем докладе предпринята попытка их отразить и развить. Это не инструкция и не план, а начало жизненно важного разговора. 
[Résumé] Résumé du rapport mondial de suivi sur l’éducation 2023 : les technologies dans l’éducation; qui est aux commandes? Year of publication: 2023 Corporate author: UNESCO | Global Education Monitoring Report Team Le rôle de la technologie dans l’éducation suscite depuis longtemps un débat intense. Est-ce qu’elle démocratise le savoir ou menace la démocratie en permettant à quelques-uns de contrôler l’information? Offre-t-elle des opportunités sans limite ou mène-t-elle vers un avenir dépendant de la technologie sans retour en arrière possible ? Est-ce qu’elle égalise les chances ou aggrave les inégalités? Devrait-elle être utilisée pour enseigner aux jeunes enfants ou présente-t-elle des risques pour leur développement? Ce débat a été alimenté par les fermetures d’écoles dues à la COVID-19 et l’émergence de l’intelligence artificielle générative. Mais comme les développeurs sont souvent en avance sur les décideurs, la recherche sur la technologie éducative est complexe. Les preuves solides et impartiales sont rares. Les sociétés posent-elles même les bonnes questions sur l’éducation avant de se tourner vers la technologie comme solution? Reconnaissent-elles ses risques tout en cherchant ses avantages? Les technologies de l’information et de la communication ont le potentiel de favoriser l’équité et l’inclusion en permettant d’atteindre les apprenants défavorisés et de diffuser plus de connaissances dans des formats attrayants et abordables. Dans certains contextes et pour certains types d’apprentissage, elles peuvent améliorer la qualité de l’enseignement et l’apprentissage des compétences de base. De toute évidence, les compétences numériques font désormais partie des compétences de base. La technologie numérique peut également soutenir la gestion et accroître l’efficacité en aidant à traiter de plus grands volumes de données éducatives. Mais la technologie peut également exclure, être inappropriée et pesante, voire carrément nuisible. Les gouvernements doivent veiller à créer les bonnes conditions pour assurer un accès équitable à l’éducation pour tous, réguler l’utilisation de la technologie afin de protéger les apprenants de ses influences négatives, et former les enseignants. Ce rapport recommande que la technologie soit introduite dans l’éducation sur la base de preuves montrant qu’elle serait appropriée, équitable, évolutive et durable. En d’autres termes, son utilisation devrait être dans l’intérêt des apprenants et compléter l’interaction en face-à-face avec les enseignants. Elle devrait être considérée comme un outil à utiliser dans ces conditions. À mi-parcours de l’échéance, le Rapport mondial de suivi sur l'éducation 2023 évalue la distance qu’il reste à parcourir pour atteindre les objectifs éducatifs de 2030. L’éducation est la clé pour débloquer la réalisation d’autres objectifs de développement, notamment le progrès technologique.

A New Social Contract for Education: Advancing a Paradigm of Relational Interconnectedness Year of publication: 2023 Author: Elena Toukan Corporate author: UNESCO This paper looks at recent calls for “a new social contract for education” through the lens of a relational ontology for humanity and a living planet. Through a critical view of social contract theory, the paper looks at how this call can be an entry point to a deeper paradigmatic shift in framing questions of justice, social organization, and education itself. It proposes a shift from a rules-based transactional model to a relationship-based model grounded in understanding and appreciation of interdependence and interconnectedness. In order to shape more just and sustainable futures for humanity and the planet, a new social contract for education will need to transcend atomistic, transactional, and adversarial social dynamics and instead be organized around relational interconnectedness. Un nuevo contrato social para la educación: promover un paradigma de interconexión relacional y los conocimientos Year of publication: 2023 Author: Elena Toukan Corporate author: UNESCO En el presente artículo se examinan los recientes llamamientos a “un nuevo contrato social para la educación” a través de la lente de una ontología relacional para la humanidad y un planeta vivo. Mediante una visión crítica de la teoría del contrato social, el artículo examina cómo este llamamiento puede ser un punto de partida hacia un cambio paradigmático más profundo a la hora de enmarcar cuestiones de justicia, organización social y la propia educación. Propone pasar de un modelo transaccional basado en normas a un modelo basado en relaciones y fundamentado en la comprensión y la apreciación de la interdependencia y la interconexión. Con miras a forjar futuros más justos y sostenibles para la humanidad y el planeta, el nuevo contrato social para la educación deberá trascender las dinámicas sociales atomistas, transaccionales y de confrontación y organizarse en torno a la interconexión relacional. Un nouveau contrat social pour l’éducation : promouvoir un paradigme d’interconnexion relationnelle Year of publication: 2023 Author: Elena Toukan Corporate author: UNESCO Le présent article examine les récents appels en faveur d’un « nouveau contrat social pour l’éducation » à travers le prisme d’une ontologie relationnelle au service de l’humanité et d’une planète vivante. Il se penche, en portant un regard critique sur la théorie du contrat social, sur la façon dont ces appels peuvent amorcer un changement de paradigme plus profond en ce qui concerne la façon d’aborder les questions de justice, d’organisation sociale et d’éducation. Il propose de passer d’un modèle transactionnel fondé sur les règles à un modèle relationnel qui repose sur la compréhension et la valorisation de l’interdépendance et de l’interconnexion. Afin de façonner des futurs plus justes et plus durables pour l’humanité et la planète, le nouveau contrat social pour l’éducation devra dépasser les dynamiques sociales atomistes, transactionnelles et antagonistes et se structurer autour de l’interconnexion relationnelle.
