National Distance Learning Programmes in Response to the COVID-19 Education Disruption: Case Study of the Republic of Korea Year of publication: 2022 Corporate author: UNESCO This document is one of several case studies on national distance learning programmes in response to the COVID-19 education disruptions. The case of the Republic of Korea was drawn from the 2020 edition of Mobile Learning Week, organized online in October 2020 under the theme of 'Beyond Disruption: Technology Enabled Learning Futures'. Envisaged to be a continuously enriched mechanism for knowledge sharing and dissemination, the case studies aim to surface best practices worldwide in leveraging digital technology to build inclusive and crisis-resilient learning systems, and to inform the planning of digital transformation of education towards SDG 4 and the futures of learning. Each case study documents governance and funding mechanisms, needs-driven planning of distance learning solutions, evaluation of digital learning’s effects on mitigating disruptions and ensuring inclusion, and pedagogical innovations to maintain or improve the quality of learning. 
The Chilling: Global Trends in Online Violence Against Women Journalists; Research Discussion Paper Year of publication: 2021 Author: Julie Posetti | Nabeelah Shabbir | Diana Maynard | Kalina Bontcheva | Nermine Aboulez Corporate author: UNESCO This report demonstrates that online violence against women journalists is a global phenomenon, albeit one with uneven impacts that are heightened at various intersectional points, including racism, religious bigotry, sectarianism, homophobia and disinformation. There is a climate of impunity surrounding online attacks on women journalists which must be more urgently and effectively addressed because impunity emboldens the perpetrators, demoralises the victim, erodes the foundations of journalism, and undermines freedom of expression. For too long, the emphasis has been on making women journalists responsible for their own defence and protection, rather than making the perpetrators and instigators, the platform enablers, and law enforcement and media employers accountable.These methods of attack are growing more sophisticated, and they are evolving with technology. They are also increasingly networked and fuelled by political actors. This points to the need for responses to online violence to grow equally in technological sophistication and collaborative coordination. Another point highlighted by this research: most women journalists do not report or make public the online attacks they experience, in line with low levels of reporting when it comes to violence against women more broadly. Many media employers still appear reluctant to take online violence seriously. This aligns with the evident failure of the internet communications companies - whose social networks, messaging and search services facilitate much of the harassment, intimidation, abuse and threats targeting women journalists - to take effective action to address this freedom of expression and gender equality crisis.

When Schools Shut: Gendered Impacts of COVID-19 School Closures Year of publication: 2021 Corporate author: UNESCO School closures to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 have caused unprecedented disruption for nearly 1.6 billion learners across the globe. Beyond alarming effects on learning loss and school dropout, they pose an immediate and long-term threat to gender equality, with gender-specific effects on health, well-being and protection. This publication exposes these impacts and calls for effective strategies to ensure education continuity, promote gender equality and improve lives and futures. Through a review of published research, a global survey of actions taken by organizations in favour of gender equality in education, and in-depth data collection in five countries, UNESCO and its partners underline the challenges faced by children and young people to continue learning, and to return to school safely. When schools shut also showcases the efforts made by governments and the international community to mitigate harm and safeguard progress towards gender equality in and through education. While it is too soon to grasp the full scope of the impact of school closures, the publication sets out early evidence from across different contexts globally on how girls and boys have been participating in remote learning, planning for the return to school, and coping with mental and physical health challenges during the closures. It is a call to governments and their partners to put gender at the centre of education recovery to tackle declining participation and low return-to-school rates. When schools shut is a timely reminder that schools are essential sites not only for learning, but also lifelines when it comes to health, well-being and protection of all learners. 
Changer le monde: Comment s'y prennent les jeunes (Le Courrier de l'UNESCO no. 3; Juillet-Septembre 2011) Year of publication: 2011 Corporate author: Organisation des Nations Unies pour l'éducation, la science et la culture (UNESCO) Considérant l’histoire scolaire comme un lieu de confrontation de discours et savoirs issus d’espaces de socialisation en concurrence (l’école, la famille, les médias), nous nous intéressons au travail d’éducation à la citoyenneté et aux défis que lui posent ces socialisations plurielles. Dans un contexte d’importante médiatisation des débats sur la reconnaissance des mémoires de minorités en France et de leur entrée dans les programmes scolaires du collège en 2008, comment les élèves s’approprient-ils les « questions socialement vives » de l’immigration, la colonisation, et la décolonisation ? En outre, comment s’effectue dans ce contexte l’apprentissage de la citoyenneté et du principe politique qui la fonde dans la tradition scolaire républicaine ? À partir de l’analyse de contenu d’un corpus composé d’une centaine d’entretiens semi-directifs menés entre 2007 et 2010 auprès de collégiens de 3e(fin du premier cycle du secondaire et de la scolarisation obligatoire), nous analysons et mettons en évidence des interprétations contrastées de ces héritages par les élèves majoritaires et les élèves minoritaires, respectivement alimentées par les catégories du débat public et les récits familiaux. Nous montrons, à la suite des travaux relevant de la sociologie des programmes scolaires, que l’apprentissage de la citoyenneté à la lumière de ces héritages historiquesrésulte de la confrontation des élèves aux discours et savoirs issus des différents espaces auxquels ils prennent part. Mais il est surtout le produit de leur prise de position face à ces héritages historiques, selon leurs expériences sociales et le rôle qu’ils confèrent à ces histoires dans la construction d’une identité et une appartenance communes. 
The Media: Operation Decontamination (The UNESCO Courier no. 2; July-September 2017) Year of publication: 2017 Corporate author: UNESCO The plurality of enlightened opinions is a prerequisite of the democratic development of our societies. The quality of the information disseminated by the media – traditional or new – is decisive when it comes to shaping public opinion. This is why UNESCO puts special emphasis on education about media and information, which it considers a fundamental skill for citizens in the twenty-first century.Freedom of expression and the free movement of ideas by words and images are among the constitutive principles of UNESCO and at the core of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. UNESCO supports the work of dedicated journalists and activists who defend fundamental freedoms, like the journalist Dawit Isaak, winner of the 2017 UNESCO/ Guillermo Cano World Press Freedom Prize, whose story appears in this issue of the UNESCO Courier.Over the last decade, more than 800 journalists have been victims of crimes aimed at muzzling freedom of expression. Only one murder out of ten ended with a conviction. This impunity is unacceptable and further fuels the spiral of violence in the future. This is why UNESCO is committed to putting an end to these crimes against the press, on all continents, as an indispensable condition for peaceful societies that are all the more robust for being better informed.In this “post-truth” era, the role of UNESCO is more important than ever, and this issue of the Courier is a wonderful opportunity to renew our founding commitment to support information and communication to build peace in the minds of men and women.
