The Contribution of the New Mexican Culture to Education for World Citizenship(Sinéctica, Revista electrónica de educación; no. 60) Year of publication: 2023 Author: Gloria Esther Briceño Alcaraz Corporate author: Sinéctica, Revista Electrónica de Educación A couple of years ago, UNESCO suggested transforming educational models based on an in-tegral and humanist paradigm in order to train new generations with a social and civic di-mension, based on human rights. In this essay we propose to analyze the work of education as a preferential instrument not only to develop traditional school skills, but also as an ac-tion to form citizens with a sense of responsibility and social self-awareness that promote a culture of peace. The citizen-subject represents an identity or discursive construction that is forged in the social framework in which it is situated, always in tension between individual freedom, autonomy and collective normative frameworks (Cerda, 2004), hence the interest in approaching from a critical perspective of discourse analysis (Van Dijk, 2014) to the pro-posal of the new educational model of Mexico called the New Mexican School (2022) and open the discussion on this pedagogical model and the formative fields that affect education for global citizenship. 
Internationalization in Basic Education: Languages of Reality(Revista iberoamericana de educación; vol. 93, no. 1) Year of publication: 2023 Author: Vera Lucia Felicetti | Vanessa Gabrielle Woicolesco Corporate author: Revista Iberoamericana de Educación The presence of internationalization practices in Basic Education schools has been quietly taking shape on the national, Ibero-American and international stage, but the absence of records of the actions that characterize them as internationalization continues to be a gap in their understanding. From these silent practices of internationalization we see the potential to build knowledge while respecting the interculturality that permeates the educational space. In this sense, we must recognize and understand these practices as internationalization processes, with a view to debating and reflecting on how they can contribute to the improvement of the educational system from an Ibero-American perspective.

Family Policies in China Year of publication: 2023 Corporate author: UNICEF China To further support parents in their child-rearing responsibilities there is a need to:• Establish a comprehensive and systematic concept of family policy in China to support parents and families to raise the next generation in a healthier and more evidence-informed way, and to reduce the cost and pressures of parenting, with the ultimate aim to improve the overall quality of life of the population.• Explore diverse family policy options by looking at lessons learned from other countries, because there is no single, simple, and universal solution for workplace policies, inclusive parent and child benefit policies, childcare service policies, and institutional fiscal policies.• Identify comprehensive and sustainable family policies that support families from pre-birth and throughout childhood, while also helping elderly parents and caregivers.• Address the ‘triple pressure’ that young parents are facing by creating a more tolerant and lenient parenting environment that supports people who wish to have children and by adjusting policies and institutions beyond family policy, for example, pensions, the education system, gender equality, marriage, and other social institutions.• Support gender equality in the workplace and in households and address all forms of gender-based discrimination. 
The State of the World’s Children 2023 Executive Summary Year of publication: 2023 Corporate author: United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) The world is facing a red alert for children’s health: Vaccination coverage dropped sharply during the COVID-19 pandemic, leaving millions more children unprotected against some of childhood's most serious diseases. In addition, many millions of children from some of the world's most marginalized communities have long missed out on life-saving vaccination. Catch-up and recovery are needed urgently to vaccinate the children missed and to avoid further backsliding. And greater effort is needed to reach the children historically left behind.The State of the World’s Children 2023 examines what needs to happen to ensure that every child, everywhere is protected against vaccine-preventable diseases. In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, which set back progress in childhood immunization globally, it focuses on the role of poverty, marginalization and gender in determining whether or not children are vaccinated. Drawing on lessons learned during the pandemic and from UNICEF's decades-long expertise and experience in vaccinating children, the report examines the ways in which primary health care can be strengthened to better support immunization services. It looks, too, at concerns around trust in vaccines. And it examines a range of innovations in vaccine development and delivery and in financing.
