Ending Violence in Schools : An Investment Case Year of publication: 2021 Author: Quentin Wodon | Chloë Fèvre | Chata Malé | Ada Nayihouba | Hoa Nguyen Corporate author: World Bank Preventing violence in and through school is a prerequisite for girls and boys getting the education they need and deserve, and acquiring the skills, knowledge and values that provide the foundations for strong and inclusive societies. This report demonstrates that violence in and around schools negatively impacts educational outcomes, and society pays a heavy price as a result (with an estimate of $11 trillion in lost lifetime earnings). Cost-benefit analyses suggest that implementing interventions to prevent violence in and through schools from early childhood to secondary education is a smart economic investment. Rigorously evaluated programs and policies aimed at preventing violence at different levels of the education system show that action is feasible. The benefits of investing in preventing violence in and through schools is likely to far outweigh the costs. 
Remote Learning During the Global School Lockdown: Multi-Country Lessons Year of publication: 2020 Author: Maria Barron Rodriguez | Cristobal Cobo | Alberto Muñoz-Najar | Iñaki Sánchez Ciarrusta Corporate author: World Bank This study includes three main sections that have been organized in a chronological order within this report: the first one, “What can we learn from education emergency responses in low- and middle-income countries?” analyzes the emergency education responses to the COVID-19 pandemic of over 120 governments from April until May, 2020. The second section, “Is remote learning perceived as effective? An in-depth analysis across five countries” discusses the main national education responses deployed by Brazil, Kenya, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, and Peru, as well as the perceived effectiveness of these strategies conducted from May until August, 2020. The third section, “What works with remote and remedial strategies? an analysis across 13 countries” builds on key lessons learned during the analysis of the five multi-country experiences and presents global trends of remote learning implemented during school closures and the actions governments adopted to get ready for remedial learning, conducted from August until December 2020. The countries prioritized for the third section are IDA borrowing countries of which six are low-income countries: Afghanistan, Haiti, Malawi, Mozambique, Niger, and Rwanda; and five are lower-middle-income countries: Cambodia, Cameroon, Kenya, Nepal, and Pakistan. Additionally, two high-income countries, Estonia and Uruguay, have been included in the report. The main trends across this report are discussed below and have been grouped in five themes: (1) Adopt delivery systems with an inclusive approach; (2) Adjust the curriculum to ensure effectiveness; (3) Secure sustained teacher training and in-service support; (4) Leverage institutional capacities while ensuring sustained monitoring and evaluation; and (5) Consolidate national strategies to remediate learning losses. 
The Sustainable Development Goals Report 2021 Year of publication: 2021 Corporate author: United Nations (UN) As the pandemic continues to unfold, The Sustainable Development Goals Report 2021 outlines some significant impacts in many areas that are already apparent. The global extreme poverty rate rose for the first time in over 20 years, and 119 to 124 million people were pushed back into extreme poverty in 2020. There is a risk of a generational catastrophe regarding schooling, where an additional 101 million children have fallen below the minimum reading proficiency level, potentially wiping out two decades of education gains. Women have faced increased domestic violence, child marriage is projected to rise after a decline in recent years, and unpaid and underpaid care work is increasingly and disproportionately falling on the shoulders of women and girls, impacting educational and income opportunities and health. Notwithstanding the global economic slowdown, concentrations of major greenhouse gases continue to increase. With the global average temperature reaching about 1.2°C above pre-industrial levels, the climate crisis has well and truly arrived, and its impacts are being felt across the world. The pandemic has also brought immense financial challenges, especially for developing countries – with a significant rise in debt distress and dramatic decreases in foreign direct investment and trade. Yet, with a surge in global solidarity and leadership from the highest political level, countries can still deliver on the 2030 Agenda and the 2015 Paris Agreement on Climate Change. A global vaccination plan, designed and implemented by the countries that can produce vaccines today or will be able to do so if properly supported, is an urgent first step in that direction. A recommitment by Governments, cities, businesses, and industries to ensure that the recovery reduces carbon emissions, conserves natural resources, creates better jobs, advances gender equality and tackles growing poverty and inequalities is a further imperative. Rapport sur les objectifs de développement durable 2021 Year of publication: 2021 Corporate author: United Nations (UN) Le Rapport sur les objectifs de développement durable pement durable 2021 décrit certains effets importants qui se manifestent déjà dans de nombreux domaines. Le taux mondial d’extrême pauvreté a augmenté pour la première fois en plus de 20 ans, et entre 119 et 124 millions de personnes ont basculé dans l’extrême pauvreté en 2020. Un risque de catastrophe générationnelle se dessine en matière de scolarisation, alors que 101 millions d’enfants de plus sont passés sous le seuil minimum de compétence en lecture, ce qui pourrait réduire à néant deux décennies de progrès scolaires. Les femmes ont été confrontées à une hausse de la violence conjugale, le mariage d’enfants devrait augmenter après des années de baisse, et le travail domestique non rémunéré et sous-payé repose de plus en plus et de façon disproportionnée sur les femmes et les filles, avec des répercussions sur leurs possibilités d’édu- cation et de revenu et leur santé. Malgré le ralentissement économique mondial, la concentration des principaux gaz à effet de serre continue d’augmenter. La température moyenne mondiale s’établissant à environ 1,2 °C au-dessus des niveaux préindustriels, la crise climatique est bel et bien là et ses effets se font sentir partout dans le monde. La pandémie a également engendré d’immenses défis financiers, en particulier pour les pays en développement, avec une augmentation significative du surendettement et une baisse spectaculaire de l’investissement étranger direct et du commerce.Pourtant, avec un élan de solidarité mondiale et un leadership au plus haut niveau politique, les pays peuvent encore réaliser le Programme 2030 et l’Accord de Paris sur les changements climatiques adopté en 2015. Un plan mondial de vaccination, conçu et mis en œuvre par les pays qui peuvent aujourd’hui produire des vaccins ou qui le pourront dans le futur avec le soutien adéquat, est une première étape urgente pour y parvenir.Il est également impératif que les gouvernements, les villes, les entreprises et les industries s’engagent de nouveau à assurer une reprise qui prises et les industries s’engagent de nouveau à assurer une reprise qui réduise les émissions de carbone, préserve les ressources naturelles, crée de meilleurs emplois, fasse progresser l’égalité entre les sexes et fasse reculer la pauvreté et les inégalités croissantes. 
The Current Situation of the Russian Language in the Central Asian States (Journal of Post-Soviet Studies; vol. 3, no. 3) Year of publication: 2020 Author: Yu Haiju The article examines the current situation of the Russian language in the five Central Asian states of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan, which appreciate the sovereignty they have gained, elevating their own language policies to the level of a manifestation of national independence and a symbol of sovereignty. The status of the Russian is no longer a simple question of language, but a complex political issue. The author shows that the attitudes of the five Central Asian states toward the Russian language can be divided into three main categories: acceptance, resistance and uncertainty.

Автор показывает, что отношение пяти государств Центральной Азии к русскому языку можно разделить на три основные категории: принятие, сопротивление и неопределенность.
