Recommandation sur l’éducation pour la paix, les droits de l’homme et le développement durable: un guide de mise en oeuvre Year of publication: 2025 Corporate author: UNESCO Il n’y a pas de paix sans éducation. Face à la multiplication des conflits sur de nombreux fronts, jamais la nécessité d’une éducation transformée, orientée vers la construction et le maintien de la paix, n’a été aussi pressante. La Recommandation sur l’éducation pour la paix et les droits de l’homme, la compréhension internationale, la coopération, les libertés fondamentales, la citoyenneté mondiale et le développement durable, adoptée en 2023 par l’ensemble des 194 États membres de l’UNESCO, exprime une vision humaniste et transformatrice de l’éducation, capable de répondre aux défis actuels et futurs à la paix. Ces défis vont de la résurgence de conflits alimentés par les inégalités et injustices systémiques, à la montée et la diffusion des discours de haine, du racisme et de la discrimination – notamment en ligne – en passant par les effets négatifs des technologies numériques et la menace existentielle que constitue le changement climatique. L’UNESCO a élaboré le présent Guide comme le premier d’une série d’outils destinés à aider les États membres à comprendre et à mettre pleinement en œuvre la Recommandation de 2023. Le Guide développe son contenu, en intégrant la perspective transdisciplinaire de la Recommandation afin de relier concepts et enjeux clés. Il propose également des pistes concrètes et des ressources sélectionnées pour 2 milliards de personnes – un quart de l’humanité – vivent dans des zones touchées par des conflits l’action à différents niveaux et dans divers types d’éducation, tout en appelant à une approche multi-acteurs et à l’échelle de la société, qui inclut toutes et tous et s’appuie sur les efforts positifs déjà entrepris. Le Guide constitue une ressource collective opportune pour mettre pleinement en œuvre la Recommandation de 2023 et promouvoir une éducation véritablement transformatrice au service d’un monde plus juste et pacifique.

The Role of Kuwaiti Satellite Channels in Promotion of Citizenship among Kuwaiti Youth Year of publication: 2012 Author: Hassan Al Gharbi Corporate author: Middle East University The focus of the problem that the research dealt with was on the following question: Have public and private Kuwaiti satellite channels contributed to enhancing the concept of citizenship among young Kuwaitis? The researcher adopted a definition of the concept of citizenship among the multiple definitions of this concept, which was tainted by some uncertainty and disagreement. Citizenship in this study "is the awareness of belonging to a geographical area of a specific political and social goals and shared one common culture and political system." دور الفضائيات الكويتية الرسمية و الخاصة في تعزيز المواطنة لدى الشباب الكويتي Year of publication: 2012 Author: Hassan Al Gharbi Corporate author: Middle East University تركزت المشكلة التي تناولها البحث على التساؤل التالي: هل ساهمت القنوات الفضائية الكويتية العامة والخاصة في تعزيز مفهوم المواطنة بين الشباب الكويتي؟ واعتمدت الباحثة تعريفاً لمفهوم المواطنة من بين التعاريف المتعددة لهذا المفهوم ، والذي شابه بعض عدم اليقين والاختلاف. المواطنة في هذه الدراسة "هي الوعي بالانتماء إلى منطقة جغرافية لأهداف سياسية واجتماعية محددة ومشتركة في ثقافة ونظام سياسي واحد". 
How Digital is Transforming the Lives of Young People in Small Island Developing States Year of publication: 2024 Corporate author: United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Young people represent a sizeable and vital population in Small Island Developing States (SIDS). For them, digital technologies are more than just tools; they are gateways to new horizons. Digital is creating fresh opportunities, opening doors to unconventional careers, and redefining how knowledge is acquired and shared. Young people are using digital to start new businesses, explore new opportunities, learn new knowledge and skills, and to build global connections. However, young people are also cautious about digital – and they recognise risks and issues posed by digital channels, tools, and technologies. ‘How Digital is Transforming the Lives of Young People in SIDS’ explores these opportunities and challenges by hearing from young people – in their own words. Through a bespoke survey chatbot, running on messaging platforms most used by young people living in SIDS, more than 5,000 respondents from over 30 countries discuss how they’re using digital to transform their lives and livelihoods. And the barriers and challenges that they are facing on their digital journeys. 
Learning to live together Year of publication: 2014 Corporate author: UNESCO Bangkok The importance of LTLT has increased in recent years. Indeed, relevant competencies appear to be gaining focus in international frameworks and educational initiatives across countries. This is all the more necessary as Voogt and Roblin (2012) argue, given the demands of our increasingly knowledge-based society in which “ideas and knowledge function as commodities” (p. 299 –300) and to which effective social and emotional skills are critical. It is perhaps all the more critical given the multivariate global challenges in the 21st Century and the need for unified global commitment to effectively combat these challenges. In this context, the significance of LTLT is reflected in both the rise of and growing interest in Global Citizenship Education (GCE), Education for Sustainable Development (ESD), Education for International Understanding (EIU) as well as peace and human rights education. The UN Secretary-General’s Global Education First Initiative, which lists ‘Fostering Global Citizenship’ as one of its three global priorities, also implicitly recognizes the significance of LTLT as a precursor to the building of a more peaceful society, one in which discrimination is intolerable and common challenges such as climate change and abject poverty are tackled together.Yet despite the significance of LTLT in the 21st Century, and despite numerous international initiatives to foster LTLT competencies, there is a large gap of evidence identifying how this supposition is translated into effective policy and curricula, and eventually into the reality of schools, teachers and learners. This report is a response to this gap, and attempts to understand how ten selected countries in the Asia-Pacific region – Afghanistan, Australia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, Nepal, The Philippines, Republic of Korea, Sri Lanka and Thailand – have reflected and integrated LTLT into their education policies and initiatives. This variety of countries aims to reflect their diverse experiences in terms of reflecting LTLT through their education systems. By exploring a number of areas, namely policy, curricula, teachers and assessment, this study aims to identify what has so far been achieved in education systems of the Asia-Pacific region in the area of LTLT.This report is therefore targeted predominantly at education policy makers, researchers, academics as well as education practitioners of the Asia-Pacific region. Given its connection to Global Citizenship Education and other relevant international initiatives around sustainability and peace education, this report is also relevant to UNESCO’s partner organizations and the broader educational development community.This report will first present the research framework for the study, before exploring the social and economic contexts in the ten selected countries and wider regional factors in the Asia-Pacific in relation to global challenges in Chapter Two. Chapter Three will then examine national policy frameworks, including the vision of those policies in defining LTLT in education. Chapter Four focuses on the national curriculum in selected countries and the extent to which they incorporate learning objectives, subjects, and extra-curricular activities reflecting the concept of LTLT and related skills and competencies. In Chapter Five, teaching practices are examined, including the role of teachers and teacher education, as well as teaching methods and application of media and information literacy (MIL) in the classroom. Chapter Six then looks at assessment, and how far countries have attempted to develop assessment frameworks that measure the skills and competencies related to LTLT. Finally, Chapter Seven provides reflections and conclusions based on the main findings of the study, while also identifying trends across policy domains, shortcomings and some policy considerations.

[Summary] Global Education Monitoring Report Summary 2023: Technology in Education; A Tool on whose Terms? Year of publication: 2023 Corporate author: UNESCO | Global Education Monitoring Report Team Technology’s role in education has been sparking intense debate for a long time. Does it democratize knowledge or threaten democracy by allowing a select few to control information? Does it offer boundless opportunities or lead towards a technology-dependent future with no return? Does it level the playing field or exacerbate inequality? Should it be used in teaching young children or is there a risk to their development? The debate has been fuelled by the COVID-19 school closures and the emergence of generative artificial intelligence. But as developers are often a step ahead of decision makers, research on education technology is complex. Robust, impartial evidence is scarce. Are societies even asking the right questions about education before turning to technology as a solution? Are they recognizing its risks as they seek out its benefits? Information and communication technology has potential to support equity and inclusion in terms of reaching disadvantaged learners and diffusing more knowledge in engaging and affordable formats. In certain contexts, and for some types of learning, it can improve the quality of teaching and learning basic skills. In any case, digital skills have become part of a basic skills package. Digital technology can also support management and increase efficiency, helping handle bigger volumes of education data. But technology can also exclude and be irrelevant and burdensome, if not outright harmful. Governments need to ensure the right conditions to enable equitable access to education for all, to regulate technology use so as to protect learners from its negative influences, and to prepare teachers. This report recommends that technology should be introduced into education on the basis of evidence showing that it would be appropriate, equitable, scalable and sustainable. In other words, its use should be in learners’ best interests and should complement face-to-face interaction with teachers. It should be seen as a tool to be used on these terms. Midway to the deadline, the 2023 Global Education Monitoring Report assesses the distance still to go to reach the 2030 education targets. Education is the key to unlocking the achievement of other development objectives, not least the goal of technological progress. [Résumé] Résumé du rapport mondial de suivi sur l’éducation 2023 : les technologies dans l’éducation; qui est aux commandes? Year of publication: 2023 Corporate author: UNESCO | Global Education Monitoring Report Team Le rôle de la technologie dans l’éducation suscite depuis longtemps un débat intense. Est-ce qu’elle démocratise le savoir ou menace la démocratie en permettant à quelques-uns de contrôler l’information? Offre-t-elle des opportunités sans limite ou mène-t-elle vers un avenir dépendant de la technologie sans retour en arrière possible ? Est-ce qu’elle égalise les chances ou aggrave les inégalités? Devrait-elle être utilisée pour enseigner aux jeunes enfants ou présente-t-elle des risques pour leur développement? Ce débat a été alimenté par les fermetures d’écoles dues à la COVID-19 et l’émergence de l’intelligence artificielle générative. Mais comme les développeurs sont souvent en avance sur les décideurs, la recherche sur la technologie éducative est complexe. Les preuves solides et impartiales sont rares. Les sociétés posent-elles même les bonnes questions sur l’éducation avant de se tourner vers la technologie comme solution? Reconnaissent-elles ses risques tout en cherchant ses avantages? Les technologies de l’information et de la communication ont le potentiel de favoriser l’équité et l’inclusion en permettant d’atteindre les apprenants défavorisés et de diffuser plus de connaissances dans des formats attrayants et abordables. Dans certains contextes et pour certains types d’apprentissage, elles peuvent améliorer la qualité de l’enseignement et l’apprentissage des compétences de base. De toute évidence, les compétences numériques font désormais partie des compétences de base. La technologie numérique peut également soutenir la gestion et accroître l’efficacité en aidant à traiter de plus grands volumes de données éducatives. Mais la technologie peut également exclure, être inappropriée et pesante, voire carrément nuisible. Les gouvernements doivent veiller à créer les bonnes conditions pour assurer un accès équitable à l’éducation pour tous, réguler l’utilisation de la technologie afin de protéger les apprenants de ses influences négatives, et former les enseignants. Ce rapport recommande que la technologie soit introduite dans l’éducation sur la base de preuves montrant qu’elle serait appropriée, équitable, évolutive et durable. En d’autres termes, son utilisation devrait être dans l’intérêt des apprenants et compléter l’interaction en face-à-face avec les enseignants. Elle devrait être considérée comme un outil à utiliser dans ces conditions. À mi-parcours de l’échéance, le Rapport mondial de suivi sur l'éducation 2023 évalue la distance qu’il reste à parcourir pour atteindre les objectifs éducatifs de 2030. L’éducation est la clé pour débloquer la réalisation d’autres objectifs de développement, notamment le progrès technologique.
