Building Strong Foundations: How to Put Foundational Education for Health and Well-being into Practice (Building Strong Foundations Brief; 4) Year of publication: 2024 Corporate author: UNESCO | United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) The African Union’s designation of 2024 as the Year of Education highlights the critical importance of education for equipping young Africans with the skills essential for their own and for the continent’s development. It is also a recognition of the multiple challenges ahead before every child can complete primary school having acquire the foundational skills that open the door for lifelong learning. Currently the out-of-school population is rising, one in five children do not complete primary school and, of those who do, only about one in five achieve minimum proficiency in reading and mathematics. African countries have set targets on primary completion and foundational learning but to effectively translate their ambitions into results, the 2024 Spotlight continental report emphasizes the importance of coherence between their curricula, textbooks, teacher guides and assessments. It evaluates the alignment of these policy documents with each other but also with a global standard of what students are expected to know and by when. It also assesses how these key documents are used in classrooms and what the implications are for children’s opportunities to learn. This report is the second in a series of three envisaged between 2022 and 2025, each covering some 12 countries of which a selection is examined in depth, in dialogue with education ministries and national stakeholders. The focus countries for this second Spotlight report cycle were Mauritania, Niger, South Africa, Uganda, and Zambia. The statistics and analysis presented in this publication aim to feed into the policy dialogue mechanism under the auspices of the African Union and its Continental Education Strategy for Africa. In particular, the Spotlight series aims to spark debate on foundational learning among African countries and encourage them to identify areas for joined action, given that they share a lot of policy challenges.

‘평화, 인권, 국제이해, 협력, 기본적 자유, 세계시민성, 지속가능발전을 위한 교육 권고’에서 제시한 지속가능발전교육 내용과 향후 실천 과제 (국제이해교육연구; Vol. 19, No. 2) Year of publication: 2024 Author: 김다원 Corporate author: 한국국제이해교육학회 본 연구는 2023년 11월 유네스코 제42차 총회에서 개정된 1974 국제이해교육 개정 권고에 제시된 지속가능발전교육의 내용과 향후 과제를 파악하는 데 목적을 두었다. 본 개정 권고에서는 새롭게 ‘세계시민성’, ‘지속가능발전’을 위한 교육을 적극적으로 포함하였다. 유엔과 유네스코에서는 1992년 리우 선언 발표, 2004년 ‘지속가능발전교육 10년(2005~2014)’ 추진, 2015년 ‘지속가능발전을 위한 2030 어젠더’에서 글로벌 추진 과제로 지속가능발전목표(SDGs)를 제시하여 전 세계에 적극적인 지속가능발전교육의 실행을 요청해 왔다. 이러한 흐름에서 1974 국제이해교육 개정 권고는 그간의 지속가능발전을 위한 교육의 흐름을 반영하면서도 최근의 글로벌 사회에서 나타나고 있는 기후변화, 분쟁과 갈등, 심화되는 불평등 등의 문제를 해결하고 인류 평화와 지구 생태계 유지를 위해 필요한 지속가능발전교육이 무엇인지를 제시했다는 데 각별한 의미가 있다. 이러한 배경에서 본 연구는 1974 국제이해교육 개정 권고에 제시된 지속가능발전교육의 성격, 목표, 방법을 분석적 시각으로 살펴보았다. 그리고 이를 토대로 향후 한국 지속가능발전교육의 해결해야 할 과제와 방향을 모색하였다. 
Rapport mondial de suivi sur l'éducation 2024/5, Leadership dans l'éducation : diriger pour apprendre Year of publication: 2025 Corporate author: Global Education Monitoring Report Team Le Rapport mondial de suivi sur l'éducation 2024/5 évalue les progrès accomplis dans la réalisation des objectifs du Programme 2030 et montre que, si le nombre d'enfants scolarisés et achevant l'enseignement secondaire n'a jamais été aussi élevé, de nombreux domaines connaissent une stagnation. Le leadership joue un rôle central pour y remédier. Aucune école n’améliore les résultats des élèves sans un bon leader pour montrer la voie. Sur la base d’un examen des lois et politiques concernant la sélection, la préparation et les conditions de travail des chefs d'établissement de 211 systèmes éducatifs, le rapport analyse les leviers stratégiques permettant d'attirer et de retenir des leaders de talent.Les possibilités d’exercer un leadership ne se limitent pas aux dirigeants des écoles, elles s’étendent à des personnes qui occupent d’autres postes dans le système éducatif et en dehors de celui-ci, telles que les directeurs adjoints, les enseignants et les élèves lorsque le leadership est partagé, les responsables politiques, la société civile, les organisations internationales, les syndicats et les médias, qui contribuent à définir les objectifs en matière d’éducation.Le rapport préconise que des efforts soient faits pour former des leaders dans quatre dimensions essentielles : fixer des objectifs, donner la priorité à l’apprentissage, encourager la collaboration et faire évoluer les personnes. Pour que ces dimensions se concrétisent, il faut faire confiance aux personnes occupant des postes de direction et leur donner les moyens d’agir ; il faut les recruter grâce à des pratiques d’embauche équitables ; les soutenir dans leur évolution ; et les encourager à mettre en place une culture de collaboration. Le rapport appelle également à investir dans la capacité des responsables de l'éducation à jouer un rôle de leader au sein du système, en mettant particulièrement l'accent sur la direction pédagogique et l'assurance qualité 
Hydro Resilience: Citizen and Open Science for Climate Adaptation Year of publication: 2024 Corporate author: UNESCO Human-induced climate change is affecting weather and climate extremes worldwide and causing changes in the atmosphere, ocean, cryosphere and biosphere leading to widespread adverse impacts on people and nature. These conditions have exposed people to reduced water security and negatively affected food security and ecosystem services. Despite advances in climate and water sciences, there is still a significant gap between information availability and its uptake by stakeholders. Although there is abundant data and information available on the potential impacts of climate change, there is a lack of expert knowledge on the user side, which limits the development and implementation of effective adaptation strategies at the local level. There is also an opportunity to bring communities more on board to manage their climate risk through citizen engagement and to ensure that vulnerable communities can benefit from climate science foresight. To address these challenges, a new project was developed called ‘Hydro Resilience: Citizen and Open Science for Climate Adaptation’ to pilot citizen and open science applications for climate risk management and to support water management under climate change uncertainty.
