UNESCO COVID-19 Education Response: How Many Students Are at Risk of Not Returning to School?; Advocacy paper Year of publication: 2020 Corporate author: UNESCO UNESCO estimates that about 24 million learners, from pre-primary to university level, are at risk of not returning to school in 2020 following the education disruption due to COVID-19. Almost half of them are found in South and West Asia and sub-Saharan Africa. University students are affected the most, due to the costs related to their studies. Pre-primary education is the second most affected while at primary and secondary level 10.9 million students are at risk, 5.2 million of whom are girls. Socioeconomic factors are behind this risk, including the need to generate income, increased household and child caring responsibilities, early and forced marriage and/or unintended pregnancy in certain contexts or fear of resurgence of the virus. Those who did not have access to distance education during confinement are also at risk. This advocacy paper calls on Governments and other partners to increase investments and efforts to remove barriers to education and take the necessary legal and policy actions to make school environments more conducive to students’ learning and well-being. “These findings emphasize the need to proactively address all the drivers of educational exclusion and to strengthen the resilience of education systems in the face of this unprecedented crisis“, says Stefania Giannini, Assistant DirectorGeneral for Education at UNESCO.

Measuring Intercultural Dialogue: A Conceptual and Technical Framework Year of publication: 2020 Author: Ciara Aucoin | Euan Mackway-Jones | Marcel Smits Corporate author: UNESCO | Institute for Economics and Peace The challenges of addressing growing diversity have amply demonstrated that this vision is needed now more than ever. We all have much to gain from more open and connected societies yet misunderstanding, exclusion and discrimination continue to push identity and culture-based grievances towards conflict and violence, challenging the very foundations of sustainable and inclusive development.This report represents a first step in the UNESCO-IEP joint initiative to strengthen the evidence-base on dialogue for peace and development. Through mobilizing better data on effective dialogue, it is our sincere hope that policymakers and practitioners can better support meaningful and transformative dialogue, holistically supporting the aspirations of the 2030 Agenda. Through this, we hope to elevate dialogue as a connecting enabler of all pillars of UN action, accelerating progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals and making good on the promise of ‘leaving no one behind’. Mesurer le dialogue interculturel: cadre conceptuel et technique Year of publication: 2020 Author: Ciara Aucoin | Euan Mackway-Jones | Marcel Smits Corporate author: UNESCO | Institute for Economics and Peace Les défis rencontrés pour tenir compte de la diversité croissante ont amplement démontré que cette vision était plus que jamais nécessaire. Nous avons tous beaucoup à gagner de sociétés plus ouvertes et plus connectées, mais l’incompréhension, l’exclusion et la discrimination continuent de nourrir les griefs identitaires et culturels conduisant au conflit et à la violence, en remettant en question les fondements mêmes du développement durable et inclusif.Ce rapport représente une première étape dans l’initiative conjointe UNESCO-IEP visant à renforcer la base de données factuelles sur le dialogue pour la paix et le développement. En favorisant la collecte de données de meilleure qualité sur un dialogue efficace, nous espérons sincèrement que les décideurs politiques et les spécialistes pourront mieux soutenir un dialogue constructif et transformateur, afin d’appuyer de manière globale les objectifs du Programme 2030. Ainsi, nous espérons faire du dialogue un élément essentiel commun à tous les piliers de l’action des Nations Unies, afin d’accélérer les progrès vers la réalisation des objectifs de développement durable et de la promesse de « ne laisser personne de côté ».
