Regional overview: Central and Eastern Europe and Central Asia Year of publication: 2015 Corporate author: UNESCO Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) and Central Asia (CA) have both made significant advances towards Education for All (EFA) since 1999. However, the 2015 EFA Global Monitoring Report shows that despite progress, Education For All remains unfinished business, including in Central and Eastern Europe and in Central Asia. This must be taken into account in the post-2015 agenda. 
Securitising Education to Prevent Terrorism or Losing Direction? Year of publication: 2016 Author: Bill Durodie Corporate author: Society for Educational Studies | Taylor & Francis This article examines the growing relationship between security and education, particularly in the light of the UK government’s Prevent Duty that seeks to tackle radicalization in a variety of milieus, including universities. However, rather than seeing this process as being merely one-way, through a so-called securitization of education, what is explored here is the dialectic between these two spheres. It is suggested that a heightened sensitivity to the supposed consequences of inflammatory rhetoric on the well-being of supposedly suggestible or vulnerable students has been in existence within education for quite some time. Securitising Education to Prevent Terrorism or Losing Direction? Year of publication: 2016 Author: Bill Durodie Corporate author: Society for Educational Studies | Taylor & Francis Cet article examine le lien grandissant entre la sécurité et l'éducation, à la lumière, en particulier, du programme « Prevent Duty » du gouvernement britannique, qui vise à lutter contre la radicalisation dans différents milieux, tels que les universités. Cependant, plutôt que de voir un simple processus de sécurisation de l'éducation, il s’agit ici d’explorer la dialectique entre ces deux éléments. On pose comme hypothèse qu'une sensibilité accrue aux soi-disant conséquences d’un discours enflammé sur le bien-être des élèves prétendus influençables ou vulnérables existe au sein de l'éducation depuis un certain temps. 
Education as a Security Issue Author: Ian Jamison Corporate author: Tony Blair Faith Foundation The use of education as both tool and target of religious extremists globally is perhaps one of the most important generational challenges we face today. To ensure that the next generation is open to a more pluralistic world, we must ensure that their education equips them to safely encounter the 'Other'. This not only means improving knowledge, understanding and interaction, but also critically requires investment in developing essential soft skills that can ensure these are properly employed. Quelques constats à propos de la transmission scolaire de la Shoah en Suisse This study is based on interviews conducted among teachers from the French-speaking cantons of Switzerland to determine how the history and memory of the Shoah are transmitted in the schools: it is at the intersection of the teaching of history and of social perception. The interviews reveal the high standards the teachers set for themselves. Consequently, they are caught between their own perception of the uniqueness of the Shoah and their concern that its exceptional nature might not be shared by their students. Thus, the combination of the exceptional nature of the subject and the teachers’ concern becomes a veritable pedagogical leitmotif that translates both the strength of their conviction and their difficulty in expressing it through effective teaching strategies. It is one of the factors that lead certain teachers to compare the Shoah with other genocides. And yet, when these teachers broach the subject of genocide in a comparative way, the uniqueness of the Shoah stands out, in their eyes, and is reinforced by the strong identification that a majority of them feel with the victims.

Measurement of global citizenship education Year of publication: 2013 Author: Vegard Skirbekk | Michaela Potančoková | Marcin Stonawski Corporate author: UNESCO In this study we provide an overview of Global Citizenship Education, focusing on definitions, methodological advances and data. We present an assessment of some of the existing initiatives for the measurement Global Citizenship Education, and make suggestions for how to move towards a globally consistent measure. Although there is some disagreement over how to measure global citizenship and global citizenship education, we also find consensus on parts of the concept. We are proposing to construct a composite indicator consisting of three complementary levels – the societal level (e.g., the level of democracy; macro level indicators of openness), the supplier level (e.g., provision of education; availability of training relevant for global citizenship); and the receiver level (civic identity, values, skills and knowledge). We conclude that one potential cost-effective approach could be to integrate evidence from several nationally representative surveys, providing us with world-wide coverage. We also discuss the feasibility and benefits of this measurement approach as well as its challenges. Measurement of global citizenship education Year of publication: 2013 Author: Vegard Skirbekk | Michaela Potančoková | Marcin Stonawski Corporate author: UNESCO Dans cette étude, nous présentons un aperçu de l’Éducation à la Citoyenneté Mondiale, en se concentrant sur les définitions, les progrès méthodologiques et des données. Nous présentons une évaluation de quelques-unes des initiatives existantes pour la mesure d'éducation à la citoyenneté mondiale, et de faire des suggestions sur la façon de progresser vers une mesure cohérente au niveau mondial. Bien qu'il y ait un certain désaccord sur la façon de mesurer la citoyenneté mondiale et de l'éducation à la citoyenneté mondiale, on trouve aussi un consensus sur certaines parties du concept. Nous proposons de construire un indicateur composite constitué de trois niveaux complémentaires - le niveau de la société (par exemple, le niveau de la démocratie, les indicateurs macro-niveau d'ouverture), le niveau des fournisseurs (par exemple, la fourniture de l'éducation, la disponibilité de la formation pertinente à la citoyenneté mondiale) ; et le niveau du récepteur (identité civique, les valeurs, les compétences et les connaissances). Nous concluons qu'une approche potentielle rentable pourrait être d'intégrer des preuves de plusieurs enquêtes représentatives au niveau national, nous fournissant une couverture mondiale. Nous discutons aussi la faisabilité et les avantages de cette approche de mesures ainsi que ses défis. Education as a Security Issue Author: Ian Jamison Corporate author: Tony Blair Faith Foundation Le recours des extrémistes religieux à l'éducation comme, à la fois, outil et cible est peut-être l'un des défis les plus importants de cette génération, auquel nous sommes confrontés aujourd'hui dans le monde. Pour que la prochaine génération soit ouverte à un monde plus pluraliste, nous devons veiller à ce que leur éducation les prépare à des échanges pacifiques avec « l’Autre ». Cela signifie non seulement d’améliorer les connaissances, la compréhension et l'interaction, mais aussi d’investir urgemment dans le développement des compétences générales essentielles qui en garantissent une bonne utilisation. 
Education in the twenty‐first century: Conflict, reconstruction and reconciliation1 Year of publication: 2005 Author: Alan Smith Corporate author: Taylor & Francis This paper is an attempt to map out an emerging and increasingly important field of study concerning the relationship between education and conflict. The paper argues that actions through various ‘entry points’ at each of these levels carry the potential to exacerbate or ameliorate conflict and suggests that a systemic analysis of investments in education systems from a conflict perspective should be a routine part of educational planning. Education in the twenty‐first century: Conflict, reconstruction and reconciliation1 Year of publication: 2005 Author: Alan Smith Corporate author: Taylor & Francis Ce papier tente d’établir un nouveau domaine d'étude de plus en plus important portant sur le lien entre l'éducation et les conflits. Le document fait valoir que les actions menées à travers différents « points d’entrée » à chaque niveau ont le potentiel d'exacerber ou bien d’atténuer les conflits. Le papier suggère qu'une analyse systémique des investissements dans les systèmes d'éducation contre les conflits devrait faire partie intégrante de la planification de l'éducation.
