No Education, No Protection: What School Closures Under COVID-19 Mean for Children and Young People in Crisis-Affected Contexts Year of publication: 2021 Corporate author: Inter-agency Network for Education in Emergencies (INEE) | Alliance for Child Protection in Humanitarian Drawing from research and experience on previous infectious disease outbreaks and an emergent body of work from the current COVID-19 pandemic, this report highlights the primarily negative effects resulting from the combination of sudden school closures and restricted access to and availability of services, social networks, and other protective facilities for children and young people living in crisis-affected contexts. The consequences of school closures on education and child protection can be categorized into three principal areas:1. Loss of learning and impediments to providing inclusive, equitable, quality education2. Negative impact on child well-being and healthy development3. Amplified child protection risks and harms experienced by children and young people 
Learning & Behaviour Support: Enabling Inclusive Learning; Edukans Manual for Facilitators Year of publication: 2021 Author: Hendrien Maat | Judith Pietersma | Aniek Santema Corporate author: Edukans This Edukans training manual is intended as a guide to train people in how to respond to the needs of students with learning and behavioural problems, such as dyslexia, dyscalculia, lack of motivation, aggression and anxiety. Troubled behaviour is often a child's way of communicationg distress and, in these cases, the right kind of response can make all the difference. Behavioural and learning difficulites are well-recognized problems all over the world, and inclusive learning is on top of the educational agenda. When a person has more knowledge about learning & behavioural difficulties, he or she can understand the situation that the child is facing and offer suitable suport. This manual aims to help programme managers and trainers to give training to their staff in: understanding the diverse needs of vulnerable students, the origins of learning and behavioural problems, their implications, and a variety of effective support strategies and interventions. The manual is meant to be used by master trainers who can further train teachers, social workers, NGO staff, mentors, relief workers, government officials, mental health workers, and counselors. 
Internationalization of Tertiary Education in the Middle East and North Africa Year of publication: 2020 Author: Giulia Marchesini | Lise Barbotte | Paul Cahu | Aurelia Hoffmann | Holly Johnstone | Mirna Mehrez | Marco Pasqualini | Francisco Marmolejo Corporate author: World Bank This report draws on available data to respond to both a real need for regional analysis and a direct demand from stakeholders, including tertiary education institutions in MENA. Encouraging internationalization to be mainstreamed throughout MENA is the objective that this report seeks to achieve by way of stimulating regional policy dialogue on the subject. The report presents some global trends in internationalization and details its main benefits, before providing an overview of the current status of internationalization in the MENA region, including an in-depth analysis of student mobility. In its reflections on the way forward for the region, the report situates its recommendations in the context of COVID-19, within which, despite serious challenges due to a lack of attractiveness of the region, MENA may find a key opportunity. It suggests that adapting to the “new normal” through the deeper implementation of internationalization “at home” – a dimension that does not require physical mobility and, being implemented within domestic environments, has a much wider reach – may help enable the region to make strides towards catching up on the internationalization agenda. Internationalisation de l’enseignement supérieur dans la région Moyen-Orient Afrique du Nord Year of publication: 2020 Author: Giulia Marchesini | Lise Barbotte | Paul Cahu | Aurelia Hoffmann | Holly Johnstone | Mirna Mehrez | Marco Pasqualini | Francisco Marmolejo Corporate author: World Bank Ce rapport s'appuie sur les données disponibles pour répondre à la fois à un réel besoin d'analyse régionale et à une demande directe des parties prenantes, y compris des établissements d'enseignement supérieur de la région MENA. Encourager le développement de l’internationalisation à travers la région MENA est l'objectif que ce rapport cherche à atteindre, en stimulant un dialogue régional sur les politiques publiques autour de ce sujet. Le rapport présente quelques tendances mondiales de l'internationalisation et détaille ses principaux avantages, avant de donner un aperçu de l'état actuel de l'internationalisation dans la région MENA, y compris une analyse approfondie de la mobilité étudiante. Parmi les recommandations proposées pour le développement de l’internationalisation, le contexte de la COVID-19 est vu, pour la région MENA, comme une fenêtre d’opportunité pour pallier au manque d'attractivité de la région dans ce domaine. Mettre l’accent sur l'internationalisation « à domicile » - une dimension qui ne nécessite pas de mobilité physique et qui se développe dans le cadre domestique, et a donc une portée plus large - pour s’adapter à la « nouvelle normalité » peut aider la région à rattraper son retard sur le plan de l’internationalisation.
