Reporting on Migrants and Refugees: Handbook for Journalism Educators Year of publication: 2023 Corporate author: UNESCO Covering migration: A challenge for journalism educators worldwide This handbook enables journalism educators worldwide to address one of the challenges of the 21st century – migration and refugee matters. In a set of thirteen modules, journalism educators are provided with a comprehensive curriculum. It covers all aspects needed to train analysis, research, presentation, marketing, and ethics of migration coverage.The handbook is unique as it comprises results of communication studies as well as political and social sciences. It has been developed by an international and cross-cultural group of media researchers, media educators and media practitioners.Journalism educators will be enabled to jump-start a new curriculum. Journalism students will learn that matters of migration and forced displacement are concerned about human beings and therefore require knowledge and awareness of accurate facts, reliable sources, ethical reporting and good practices. Experienced journalists will benefit from using the volume as a self-learning tool, and media development organizations may adapt the curriculum to their training plans.The project will impact a more comprehensive coverage of migrant and refugee matters in countries of origin, transit and destination, and a more balanced and informed public debate across countries and cultures. 
Global Education Monitoring Report, 2016: Planet: Education for Environmental Sustainability and Green Growth Year of publication: 2016 Corporate author: UNESCO PLANET: Education for environmental sustainability and green growth, a publication taken from the full 2016 Global Education Monitoring Report, explores the knowledge and skills needed for sustainable and inclusive economic growth that does not damage our planet.This publication demonstrates how education can help people understand and respond to environmental issues and climate change. Environmental education can increase green knowledge and build sustainability practices. The publication warns that while education contributes to economic growth, education systems must be careful not to encourage unsustainable lifestyles and all learners must acquire the knowledge and skills needed to promote sustainable development.It also argues that we must continue to learn throughout our lives in order to make production and consumption sustainable, and to provide green skills for green industries. Creating green industries relies on high-skill workers with specific training, yet by 2020 there could be 40 million too few workers with tertiary education relative to demand. Higher education and research should also be oriented towards green innovation and growth; innovation depends on cooperation in higher education and investment in research and development to transform production in vast swaths of the economy.It also recognises that education must change in order to keep up with the changing face of work. Green and transferable skills should be taught in both school and the workplace. The greening of industries requires not only the production of more high-skill workers, but the continued training and education for low and medium skill workers, often on the job. “To ensure the Sustainable Development Goals are implemented, everyone involved needs to think, to work, to organise, to communicate and to report in ways that are completely different from what has been done up till now. Education truly is key to a wide appreciation not just of the SDGs but the new ways of thinking and working that are going to be necessary to fulfil them. So the challenge to all of us is to re-learn, and that does not just apply to educators, but it applies to all of us.” 
UNESCO education strategy 2014-2021 Year of publication: 2014 Corporate author: UNESCO This publication is a result of extensive collective work by my colleagues in UNESCO’s Education Sector over the past two years. It elaborates on UNESCO’s Medium-Term Strategy (2014–2021), which was drafted by the Organization’s Secretariat and approved by the 37th session of its General Conference in November 2013. This publication elaborates on the education component of the Medium-Term Strategy. While continuing to focus efforts on the ‘unfinished business’ of EFA, such as literacy, teachers and vocational skills development, UNESCO will lead and advocate for strengthened action towards empowering learners to be creative and responsible citizens. In a world of change, when individuals are increasingly called upon to make a positive contribution to their communities through the promotion of peace, solidarity, and respect for others and the environment, I am convinced that Education for Sustainable Development and Global Citizenship Education must also be considered crucial elements for well-rounded educational systems. UNESCO education strategy 2014-2021 Year of publication: 2014 Corporate author: UNESCO Cette publication est le résultat d'une vaste travail collectif par mes collègues dans le secteur de l'éducation de l'UNESCO au cours des deux dernières années. Il élabore sur la stratégie à moyen terme de l'UNESCO (2014-2021), qui a été élaboré par le Secrétariat de l'Organisation et approuvé par la 37e session de la Conférence Générale en Novembre 2013. Cette publication développe sur le volet éducation de la Stratégie à Moyen Terme. Tout en continuant à concentrer les efforts sur le «travail inachevé» de l'EPT, tels que l'alphabétisation, les enseignements et le développement des compétences professionnelles, l'UNESCO dirigera et plaider pour une action renforcée vers l'autonomisation des apprenants à être des citoyens créatifs et responsables. Dans un monde de changement, lorsque les individus sont de plus en plus appelés à apporter une contribution positive à leurs communautés par la promotion de la paix, la solidarité et le respect des autres et de l'environnement, je suis convaincu que l'Éducation pour le Développement Durable et de l'Éducation à la Citoyenneté Mondiale doivent aussi être considérés comme des éléments cruciaux pour les systèmes éducatifs bien arrondis. 
Enhancing learning of children from diverse language backgrounds: mother tongue-based bilingual or multilingual education in the early years Year of publication: 2011 Author: Jessica Ball Corporate author: UNESCO This literature review discusses mother tongue based bilingual or multilingual education for children starting in early childhood. The report: (1) informs policy-makers of existing research and practices in mother-tongue instruction in early childhood and early primary school years; and (2) raises awareness of the value of maintaining the world’s languages and cultures by promoting and resourcing mother tongue-based education for young children. This analysis of current literature is framed within UNESCO’s mandate and strong commitment to quality education for all and to cultural and linguistic diversity in education (UNESCO, 2003a). This discussion is especially timely, given the slow and uneven progress (UNESCO, 2000) in meeting international targets for universal education articulated in the Education for All Goals 1 (ECCE), Goal 2 (Primary Education), and Goal 6 (Quality of Education) (World Declaration on Education for All, 1990).1 Impetus for the current report is provided by the UNESCO (2008a) ‘Global Monitoring Report on Education for All: Will we make it?’ The 2008 GMR report calls for unwavering political will to ensure that education from early childhood onwards is a priority of national governments, civil society and the private sector in order to ensure educational inclusion for the 72 million children out of school and to reduce the numbers of young learners who leave school without acquiring essential skills and knowledge. The report calls for increased investments in the provision of pre-primary education for children aged 3 and above, and for policy measures to provide care and education to children below age 3. UNESCO (2007a) emphasizes the role of early childhood care and development in laying the foundation for learning and setting the stage for successful engagement in formal education. UNESCO has encouraged mother tongue instruction in early childhood and primary education since 1953 (UNESCO, 1953). Yet, monolingualism in official or dominant languages is still the norm around the world (Arnold, Bartlett, Gowani, & Merali, 2006; Wolff & Ekkehard, 2000). In its report, ‘Strong Foundations: Early Childhood Care and Education’, UNESCO (2007a) points out the overlooked advantages of multilingual education in the early years. When children are offered opportunities to learn in their mother tongue, they are more likely to enrol and succeed in school (Kosonen, 2005) and their parents are more likely to communicate with teachers and participate in their children’s learning (Benson, 2002). Mother tongue based education especially benefits disadvantaged groups, including children from rural communities (Hovens, 2002), and girls, who tend to have less exposure to an official language and tend to stay in school longer, achieve better, and repeat grades less oft en when they are taught in their mother tongue (UNESCO Bangkok, 2005). Renforcer l'apprentissage des enfants issus de milieux linguistiques diverses: basée sur la promotion de l'enseignement en langue maternelle ou de l'éducation bilingue multilingue Year of publication: 2011 Author: Jessica Ball Corporate author: UNESCO Cette revue de la littérature aborde la langue maternelle basée éducation bilingue ou multilingue pour les enfants à partir de la petite enfance. Le rapport: (1) informe les décideurs de la recherche et des pratiques en enseignement en langue maternelle dans la petite enfance et les premières années de l'école primaire existante; et (2) soulève conscience de la valeur du maintien des langues et des cultures du monde par la promotion et de ressourcement mère éducation fondée sur la langue, pour les jeunes enfants. Cette analyse de la littérature actuelle est encadrée au sein de l'UNESCO mandat et engagement fort à l'éducation de qualité pour tous et à la diversité culturelle et linguistique dans l'éducation (UNESCO, 2003a). Cette discussion est particulièrement opportune, compte tenu des progrès lents et inégaux (UNESCO, 2000) pour atteindre les objectifs internationaux pour l'Éducation Universelle énoncée dans l'Éducation Pour Tous les Objectifs 1, Objectifs 2 (enseignement primaire), et Objectifs 6 (qualité de l'éducation ) (déclaration mondiale sur l'éducation pour tous, 1990) .1 Impetus pour le rapport actuel est fourni par l'UNESCO (2008a) «Rapport mondial de suivi sur l'éducation pour tous: Allons-nous faire?» le rapport GMR 2008 appelle à une volonté politique sans faille veiller à ce que l'éducation de la petite enfance est en avant une priorité des gouvernements nationaux, la société civile et le secteur privé afin d'assurer l'insertion scolaire pour les 72 millions d'enfants de l'école et de réduire le nombre de jeunes apprenants qui quittent l'école sans avoir acquis les compétences essentielles et de la connaissance.
