History Under Attack: Holocaust Denial and Distortion on Social Media Year of publication: 2022 Corporate author: Организация Объединенных Наций по вопросам образования, науки и культуры (UNESCO) | United Nations (UN) Holocaust denial and distortion are dangerous. It is an attack on truth and knowledge. It feeds on and spreads antisemitic tropes and prejudices, and threatens our understanding of one of the most tragic and violent histories: The genocide of six million Jews by Nazi Germany, its allies and collaborators. In countries across Europe, people became complicit in the persecution and murder of their neighbours. Holocaust denial and distortion can prevent society from reckoning with this past. It impedes our comprehension of the causes and warning signs of genocide, and that might strengthen efforts for genocide prevention. It is insulting to the victims and survivors of the Holocaust, and risks the rehabilitation of violent, antisemitic ideologies. At its most extreme, it celebrates and glorifies this history, inciting violence against Jews and calling for another genocide. The United Nations and UNESCO condemn the rise of Holocaust denial and distortion online as a dangerous form of hatred, and commissioned this report in partnership with the World Jewish Congress to raise awareness of the forms and functions of Holocaust denial and distortion on social media, and determine a series of policy and educational responses. This report is a data-driven investigation into the extent and nature of Holocaust denial and distortion on online platforms. It is based on a manual review of almost 4,000 pieces of content collected in June and July 2021 that related to Jews, the Holocaust, antisemitism and Holocaust denial and distortion from five major online platforms and messenger apps. It looks at content posted on Facebook, Instagram, Telegram, TikTok and Twitter: some of the world’s largest online platforms and collectively home to billions of users. It addresses content in four different languages: English, French, Spanish and German, with the aim of providing a wide-ranging review that addresses multiple countries and contexts. This report aims to answer four questions:How much Holocaust-related content on social media either denies the Holocaust or distorts key elements of history?What are the key narratives in contemporary Holocaust denial and distortion?How are Holocaust denial and distortion communicated, and how are they situated within wider discourses and frames?What can online platform companies, policy-makers, educators and organizations promoting Holocaust remembrance, education and research do to tackle the problem? Based on the findings of this report, it provides a series of recommended actions that online platforms, policy-makers, civil society, researchers and educators can implement to prevent and counter Holocaust denial and distortion online. 
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. 
History Under Attack: Holocaust Denial and Distortion on Social Media Year of publication: 2022 Corporate author: 联合国教科文组织 (UNESCO) | United Nations (UN) A new United Nations and UNESCO study together with the support of the World Jewish Congress investigates Holocaust denial and distortion on social media, measuring their extent and nature on Facebook, Instagram, Telegram, Twitter and TikTok, at a time when the memory and fundamental facts of the Holocaust are under threat from lies, smears and the spread of violent ideologies. It provides recommendations that governments, online platforms, educators and researchers can implement to counter denial and distortion, prevent antisemitism and uphold human rights.This report aims to provide a wide-ranging assessment of the extent to which Holocaust-related content on social media and online platforms denies its factual basis or distorts the Holocaust by minimizing or misrepresenting its history. The report seeks to identify content that has evaded content moderation (on platforms that seek to remove content which denies and distorts the Holocaust). Perhaps more importantly, it also aims to provide an understanding of how denial and distortion about the Holocaust are communicated by people on online platforms. 
[Resumen] Informe de seguimiento de la educación en el mundo 2021/2: Los actores no estatales en la educación; ¿quién elige? ¿quién pierde? Year of publication: 2022 Corporate author: UNESCO El papel de los actores no estatales se extiende más allá de la escolarización a las intervenciones en diferentes niveles educativos y esferas de influencia. Junto con su revisión del progreso hacia el ODS 4, incluida la evidencia emergente sobre el impacto de la pandemia de COVID-19, el Informe de Seguimiento de la Educación en el Mundo 2021/2 insta a los gobiernos a considerar a todas las instituciones, estudiantes y docentes como parte de un solo sistema. Los estándares, la información, los incentivos y la rendición de cuentas deberían ayudar a los gobiernos a proteger, respetar y cumplir el derecho a la educación para todos, sin apartar la vista de los privilegios o la explotación. La educación financiada por el estado no tiene que ser proporcionada por el estado, pero se debe abordar la disparidad en los procesos educativos, los resultados de los estudiantes y las condiciones de trabajo de los maestros. La eficiencia y la innovación, en lugar de ser secretos comerciales, deben ser compartidos y practicados por todos. Con este fin, se debe mantener la transparencia e integridad del proceso de formulación de políticas de educación pública para bloquear los intereses creados. El grito de guerra del informe: ¿Quién elige? ¿Quién pierde? – invita a los responsables de la toma de decisiones políticas a cuestionar las relaciones con los actores no estatales en términos de elecciones fundamentales: entre equidad y libertad de elección; entre fomentar la iniciativa y establecer estándares; entre grupos de diferentes medios y necesidades; entre los compromisos inmediatos bajo el ODS 4 y los que se lograrán gradualmente (por ejemplo, educación postsecundaria); y entre la educación y otros sectores sociales. [Résumé] Rapport mondial de suivi sur l’éducation, 2021-2022: Les acteurs non étatiques dans l’éducation; Qui décide? qui est perdant? Year of publication: 2022 Corporate author: UNESCO Le rôle des acteurs non étatiques s'étend au-delà de la scolarisation à des interventions à différents niveaux d'éducation et sphères d'influence. Parallèlement à son examen des progrès vers l'ODD 4, y compris les preuves émergentes sur l'impact de la pandémie de COVID-19, le Rapport mondial de suivi sur l'éducation 2021/2 exhorte les gouvernements à considérer tous les établissements, étudiants et enseignants comme faisant partie d'un système unique. Les normes, l'information, les incitations et la responsabilité devraient aider les gouvernements à protéger, respecter et réaliser le droit à l'éducation de tous, sans détourner les yeux des privilèges ou de l'exploitation. L'éducation financée par l'État n'a pas à être fournie par l'État, mais la disparité dans les processus éducatifs, les résultats des élèves et les conditions de travail des enseignants doit être abordée. L'efficacité et l'innovation, plutôt que d'être des secrets commerciaux, doivent être diffusées et pratiquées par tous. À cette fin, la transparence et l'intégrité du processus d'élaboration des politiques d'éducation publique doivent être maintenues pour bloquer les intérêts acquis. Le cri de ralliement du rapport – Qui choisit ? Qui perd ? – invite les décideurs politiques à questionner les relations avec les acteurs non étatiques en termes de choix fondamentaux : entre équité et liberté de choix ; entre l'incitation à l'initiative et l'établissement de normes ; entre des groupes aux moyens et aux besoins variés ; entre les engagements immédiats au titre de l'ODD 4 et ceux à concrétiser progressivement (par exemple, l'enseignement postsecondaire) ; et entre l'éducation et les autres secteurs sociaux. [요약본] 세계 교육 현황 보고서 2021/2: 비국가 행위자의 교육 참여; 누가 선택을 하는가? 누가 손해를 보는가? Year of publication: 2022 Corporate author: 유네스코 비국가 행위자는 학교 교육 제공을 넘어 다양한 교육단계 및 영향력 있는 영역에까지 그 역할을 확장하고 있다. 2021/2022 『세계 교육 현황 보고서』는 SDG4의 진행 상황을 검토하고 더불어 코로나19 팬데믹의 영향에 대한 새로운 증거를 포함하고 있다. 본 보고서는 정부가 모든 교육기관, 학생 및 교사를 하나의 시스템으로 인식해야 한다고 촉구하고 있다. 표준, 정보, 인센티브 및 책무성은 정부가 특권이나 착취로부터 눈을 돌리지 않으면서 모든 사람의 교육권을 보호, 존중, 이행하는 데 도움이 되어야 한다. 공적 자금을 지원받은 교육이 반드시 공교육일 필요는 없지만, 교육 과정과 학업 성취도, 교사 근무 여건의 불균형은 해결되어야 한다. 효율성과 혁신은 상업적인 비밀이 되어서는 안 되고, 오히려 모든 사람이 공유하고 실행해야 한다. 이를 달성하기 위해서는 공교육 정책 과정의 투명성과 청렴성을 유지해야 한다.이 보고서가 외치고 있는 구호인 “누가 선택을 하는가? 누가 손해를 보는가?”는 정책 입안자가 선택의 자유와 형평성 사이, 이니셔티브 장려와 표준 설정 사이, 수단과 요구가 다른 인구 집단 사이, 즉각적인 약속과 점진적으로 실현되어야 할 약속 사이, 교육부문과 다른 사회부문 사이에서의 기본적인 선택의 관점에서 비국가 행위자와의 관계에 대해 의문을 제기할 것을 요청한다. [Summary] Global Education Monitoring Report 2021/2: Non-state Actors in Education; Who Chooses? Who Loses? Year of publication: 2022 Corporate author: UNESCO يمتد دور الجهات الفاعلة غير الحكومية إلى ما هو أبعد من توفير التعليم ليشمل التدخلات على مستويات التعليم المختلفة ومجالات التأثير. إلى جانب استعراضه للتقدم المحرز نحو الهدف 4 من أهداف التنمية المستدامة ، بما في ذلك الأدلة الناشئة على تأثير جائحة COVID-19 ، يحث التقرير العالمي لرصد التعليم 2021/2 الحكومات على رؤية جميع المؤسسات والطلاب والمعلمين كجزء من نظام واحد. يجب أن تساعد المعايير والمعلومات والحوافز والمساءلة الحكومات على حماية واحترام وإعمال الحق في التعليم للجميع ، دون إبعاد أعينهم عن الامتيازات أو الاستغلال. لا يلزم توفير التعليم الممول من القطاع العام بشكل عام ولكن يجب معالجة التفاوت في عمليات التعليم ونتائج الطلاب وظروف عمل المعلم. الكفاءة والابتكار ، بدلا من أن يكونا أسرارا تجارية ، ينبغي نشرها وممارستها من قبل الجميع. وتحقيقا لهذه الغاية ، يجب الحفاظ على الشفافية والنزاهة في عملية سياسة التعليم العام لمنع المصالح المكتسبة. نداء التقرير - من يختار؟ من يخسر؟ - يدعو صانعي السياسات إلى التشكيك في العلاقات مع الجهات الفاعلة غير الحكومية من حيث الخيارات الأساسية: بين الإنصاف وحرية الاختيار ؛ بين تشجيع المبادرة ووضع المعايير ؛ بين مجموعات مختلفة من الوسائل والاحتياجات ؛ بين الالتزامات الفورية بموجب الهدف 4 من أهداف التنمية المستدامة وتلك التي يتعين تحقيقها تدريجياً (مثل التعليم ما بعد الثانوي) ؛ وبين التعليم والقطاعات الاجتماعية الأخرى. 
Youth Report 2022: Non-state Actors in Education; Who Chooses? Who Loses? Year of publication: 2022 Corporate author: UNESCO This report is written in partnership with the Global Student Forum to help you learn about the youth perspective on the different roles and impact of non-state actors in education. For many, a discussion on the role of non-state actors in education quickly boils down to a debate about whether private schools support or undermine good-quality education.But the role of non-state actors impacts many more corners of the education sector, from the textbooks you use, the food in your canteens, any additional tutorial support you get, the skills you might learn at work and much more.The report invites youth to join a call for governments to #RightTheRules which will ensure that non-state actor involvement does not compromise the promise of providing 1 year of pre-primary and 12 years of primary and secondary education free for all.
