Private Engagement in Education in Emergencies: Rights and Regulations Year of publication: 2021 Corporate author: Inter-agency Network for Education in Emergencies (INEE) Efforts to secure inclusive and equitable education for all have prompted calls for greater engagement by the private sector, asserting that businesses and foundations can play significant roles as partners in achieving Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG4). In recent years, given shortfalls in public financing and the need for urgent responses, private actors have increasingly become involved in various aspects of educational programming for education in emergencies (EiE). This arrangement, however, can produce tensions between private engagement and humanitarian response in education, which need to be addressed and in turn require extra coordination, advocacy and attention. This brief explores some of these tensions and makes recommendations to support the prioritization of safe, equitable, and quality public education for all children and young people affected by crises. INEE supports every young person’s right to education and recognizes the State as the primary duty-bearer of schooling, in alignment with international declarations, frameworks, and legal instruments that assert and protect the right to education. 
Youth Led Guide on Prevention of Violent Extremism through Education Year of publication: 2017 Author: Carolyn Nash | Yulia Nesterova | Kenneth Primrose | Wing Yu Alice Chan | Rios, Paul A. Chan | María José Velásquez Flores | Aniqah Zowmi Corporate author: Mahatma Gandhi Institute of Education for Peace and Sustainable Development (MGIEP) In September 2016, the education sector from the UNESCO headquarters and the UNESCO category 1 research Institute, the UNESCO Mahatma Gandhi Institute of Education for Peace and Sustainable Development(MGIEP) organised the first International Conference on Prevention of Violent Extremism through Education: Taking Action, in New Delhi, India. The usual plethora of reports and guides produced by experts on the subject, roundtables and expert panels were organised.But something different also happened. UNESCO MGIEP brought 50 youth from across the world rigorously selected through six week online discussion on the subject to participate in a first of its kind, “Talking Across Generations on Education (TAGe)” event. This event organised as a plenary session—not a side or lunch event—brought together these youth in a non-hierarchical “flat” dialogue with about 12 senior policymakers on the challenges and opportunities the youth see in preventing violent extremism through education.The conference culminated with the presentation of a “Youth Action Plan” containing three clear tangible action points. One action point was the development of a youth-led guide on Prevention of Violent Extremism through Education. This Guide is the result of that call to action.The Institute circulated a global call to youth who were willing to take up the challenge of producing the Guide. After a rigorous search based on a well-defined set of criteria, two coordinating lead authors were identified. These authors were then tasked to find the remaining authors who they saw fit to contribute to the Guide and this team then reached out to the wider group of youth to solicit their experiences and guidance in producing the Guide. The youth have done their part. They have reached out to more than 2,000 young people from more than 50 countries, collated their ideas and experiences and finally featured more than 150 unique voices into this document. 
Supporting Change in Practice: Case Studies on the Use of the ACER-APCEIU Global Citizenship Education Monitoring Toolkit; Country Case-Australia Year of publication: 2025 Author: Rachel Parker | Karena Menzie-Ballantyne Corporate author: APCEIU APCEIU published Supporting Change in Practice: Case Studies on the Use of the ACER-APCEIU Global Citizenship Education Monitoring Toolkit, which shares key findings from the research conducted in Australia and the Republic of Korea. The two reports, based on case studies from two countries, build upon the three-phase Asia-Pacific GCED Monitoring Project (2022–2024) jointly undertaken by ACER and APCEIU to strengthen monitoring and evaluation of GCED and support progress toward SDG 4.7 across the region. The three phases of the initiative identified enabling conditions for GCED, validated the regional GCED Monitoring Framework, and developed the ACER-APCEIU GCED Monitoring Toolkit. The reports for each phase can be found here: Phase I, Phase II, and Phase III.The reports move the project forward by examining how the Toolkit can be practically applied in real educational settings. The study aimed to examine how the Toolkit could be used to support collaboration among key education stakeholders—teachers, school leaders, and education supervisors—in 1) goal setting, 2) planning, 3) implementing, and 4) reflecting on GCED practices. Through this process, the research sought to understand how the Toolkit could help strengthen the connection between policy commitments and everyday educational practice, supporting teachers, school leaders, and system leaders to embed GCED more systematically and sustainably within their existing framework. Both studies conducted in Australia and the Republic of Korea have been guided by the following research questions: How does the GCED Monitoring Toolkit support key stakeholder groups to collaboratively embed GCED in policy and practice? a. What aspects of the Toolkit enable or challenge stakeholders to achieve their GCED goals and objectives? b. How do key stakeholders perceive its usefulness?Are there any aspects of the Toolkit that stakeholders would change to improve its usefulness in supporting the implementation and contextualisation of GCED in policy and practice?The reports demonstrate how a GCED Monitoring Toolkit can be translated into actionable processes within real educational settings. It offers valuable insights for policymakers, school leaders, teachers, and researchers aiming to monitor and strengthen GCED implementation and systematically embed GCED within their educational ecosystems.

Выборы и СМИ в цифровую эпоху (Серия в фокусе: Мировые тенденции в области свободы выражения мнений и развития СМИ) Year of publication: 2019 Author: Tarlach McGonagle | Maciek Bednarski | Mariana Francese Coutinho | Arthur Zimin Corporate author: UNESCO ИТ компании дают возможность политикам, политическим партиям и избирателям общаться беспрецедентными способами, расширяют возможности для поиска, получения и распространения политической информации и идей. Наряду с позитивными сторонами растет озабоченность по поводу вырисовывающихся и усиливающихся угроз целостности и авторитету выборов, а также вкладу средств массовой информации в свободные, справедливые, транспарентные и мирные избирательные процессы.В настоящем докладе освещаются три сходящиеся тенденции, связанные со СМИ и выборами в цифровую эпоху: рост дезинформации, усиление нападений на журналистов и перебои в предоставлении информационно-коммуникационных технологий в период выборов. Это исследование, предлагая возможные ответы на стоящие перед нами проблемы, является своего рода инструментом для правительств, специалистов по проведению выборов, организаций средств массовой информации, журналистов, гражданского общества, частного сектора, научных кругов и отдельных лиц.
