UNESCO in Action for Gender Equality: 2020-2021 Year of publication: 2022 Corporate author: 유네스코 UNESCO’s global priority gender equality took on new meaning over the past biennium. The years 2020 and 2021 have been marked by dramatic social, political, environmental, and economic changes across countries resulting from an unprecedented pandemic: COVID-19. The COVID-19 pandemic magnified deep rooted structural gender inequalities across societies and forced the world to question the degree to which advances towards achieving gender equality had been made since the first UN World Conference on Women held in Beijing. This publication shows how a collective work by all structures of UNESCO has mobilized an extraordinary effort to go beyond a necessary adaptation to a multi-faceted crisis and counter backlashes and strengthen the resilience of women and girls and the systems which protect and empower them around the world through education, sciences, culture, communication, and information. 
Evidence on the Gendered Impacts of Extended School Closures: A Systematic Review Year of publication: 2022 Corporate author: UNESCO School closures to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 have affected nearly 1.6 billion learners across the globe. While the scale of these closures is unprecedented, in recent decades children in many contexts have been out of school for long periods due to other pandemics, disruptions and disasters such as floods, earthquake and conflicts – with marked gender effects.Building on the findings of 154 studies from every region of the world, this study investigates the evidence on the gendered impacts of extended school closures and periods out of school. Through a systematic review of the evidence, it highlights how these can deepen gendered exclusions and vulnerabilities – with the poorest children being the most affected.Undertaken by a team of leading academic experts on gender equality and education, Evidence on the gendered impacts of extended school closures: A systematic review aims to prevent and mitigate adverse outcomes arising from extended periods of time out of school, by ensuring that responses to current and future crises are informed by a solid understanding of their effects on children’s education, health, well-being and protection. 
Los actores no estatales en la educación superior: ¿Una visión compartida de la calidad y la asequibilidad? (Policy Paper 47) Year of publication: 2022 Corporate author: UNESCO Los actores no estatales acogen a más de un tercio del alumnado de educación superior en todo el mundo, un porcentaje considerablemente más elevado que en la educación primaria o secundaria. Los proveedores son diversos y responden a una variedad de necesidades, y a menudo no hay una división clara entre los sectores estatal y no estatal. Los actores no estatales son además protagonistas importantes en la financiación de la educación superior a través de los hogares, los mecanismos de mercado y las alianzas público-privadas. A raíz de ello, estos actores desempeñan un papel significativo e influyen en la elaboración de normativas y políticas, así como en la configuración del sistema de educación superior en su conjunto. Los gobiernos deben garantizar la calidad y equidad —las dimensiones clave de la meta 4.3 de los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS)—, independientemente del modo en que los actores estatales y no estatales compartan responsabilidades.
