Learning to live together Año de publicación: 2014 Autor corporativo: 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. 
Advocacy kit for promoting multilingual education: including the excluded Año de publicación: 2007 Autor corporativo: UNESCO Bangkok Who Can Use This Kit? This kit was prepared for all of those who want to ensure that “Education for All” does, indeed, include everyone! The kit will be especially valuable for policy makers, education practitioners and specialists who want to improve access to and quality of education for those excluded by language. It will also be helpful for speakers of ethnic minority languages who want to improve the education situation in their own communities.This kit is designed to raise awareness on the importance of mother tongue-based multilingual education (MLE). It presents key arguments and facts about MLE and provides important insights about the value and benefits of providing education in learners’ mother tongue. The kit also presents ideas, research findings and concrete examples that you can use to think about your own situation and suggests steps for taking actions to make your school system more responsive to linguistic diversity.The kit is not a definitive textbook, and it will not have an answer for every problem that you might face. To help you as much as possible, at the end of each booklet we have included lists of references. In addition, each booklet contains a glossary of terms and, at the front of each booklet is a one-page summary of its contents.How Can You Use This Kit? This kit contains three main booklets. Each booklet has a designated audience: 1) policy makers, 2) education programme planners and practitioners and 3) community members. Please remember that developing MLE requires contributions from everyone at all levels. For that reason, we encourage you to use all three booklets along with other available resources as you work together to plan, implement and sustain your MLE programmes.This kit can be used in many different ways. For those who are already involved in MLE programmes, you might use these ideas to help you to promote mother tongue instruction and strengthen your programme. Those who are not familiar with multilingual education but want to improve educational access for minority language students might use these booklets to identify specific points that they can investigate and discuss in their own contexts.

Situation analysis of out-of-school children in nine southeast Asian countries Año de publicación: 2017 Autor corporativo: UNESCO Bangkok In a world that continually aspires for every child and youth to have access to education, there are still large numbers of out-of-school children (OOSC) who are yet to claim their right to basic education. In 2013, the number of children who are not in school, who have dropped out, and who have never been to school have risen to 124 million after seeing the numbers continuously drop for much of the first decade of the 21st century. In much of Southeast Asia, close to seven million children of both primary and lower secondary school-age find themselves in the same situation. In an effort to assist the countries in Southeast Asia to develop more robust policies and programmes for OOSC in their respective countries, this report was commissioned to map out the current legislations, policies, characteristics, and interventions on out-of-school children in nine countries across the region, which include Cambodia, Indonesia, Lao PDR, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Thailand, Timor-Leste and Vietnam. Using a desk review of available and relevant secondary data, the study covered OOSC of primary and lower secondary school-age.

Learner-Centred Teaching in Technical and Vocational Education and Training: Perspectives and Reviews of Six Asia-Pacific Countries Año de publicación: 2023 Autor corporativo: UNESCO Bangkok Learner-centred Teaching in Technical and Vocational Education and Training: Perspectives and Reviews of Six Asia-Pacific Countries A learner-centred approach to teaching in Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) is based on learner engagement, autonomy and outcome-based activities to support professional development. This report analyses the status of learner-centred TVET teaching in six selected countries across Asia and the Pacific, including China, Republic of Korea, Samoa, Sri Lanka, Thailand, and Uzbekistan. The countries were selected because of their geographic diversity, access to national experts, and potential around learner-centred TVET.The first part of the study is a review of the theoretical background on the learner-centred approach and TVET teaching with an international scope. A total of 25 indicators were used to assess three components of TVET teaching in the region. The analysis includes 17 examples corresponding to the selected indicators. The findings showcase lessons learned and recommendations for countries to self-assess their TVET teaching strategies. These examples will help to inform future projects and capacity building in each sub-region of Asia-Pacific.As a result, seven proposals are identified and discussed to promote the development of learner-centred TVET teaching in the region. These proposals include: 1) supporting national reform of the pedagogy based on the results of pilot projects; 2) increasing two-way communication between students and teachers; 3) producing learning materials adapted to learner-centred methods; 4) using technology in the learning process; 5) implementing competency-based learning to support the learner-centred pedagogy; 6) integrating transversal and core skills; and 7) developing teachers’ capacities by employing a learner-centred approach. These proposals (on reform, teaching method, use of materials, etc.) also address gender dimensions throughout the planning, implementation and review process. Conclusions from the study provide lessons learned as well as proposals for further research and implementation of learner-centred TVET teaching in Asia-Pacific. 
Empowering Minds: A Round Table on Generative AI and Education in Asia-Pacific Año de publicación: 2023 Autor corporativo: UNESCO Bangkok The emergence of generative AI, a recent groundbreaking artificial intelligence (AI) technology capable of producing sophisticated content from text and images to simulations and audiovisuals, has become a transformative force across multiple sectors. Popular applications like OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Anthropic’s Claude are prime examples of the rapidly expanding range of generative AI tools that are having an impact in education across the Asia-Pacific. These tools offer unprecedented opportunities for enabling personalized learning experiences at scale and expanding access to high-quality learning resources. However, as generative AI increasingly reshapes classrooms, critical questions remain unanswered, such as:- How can generative AI be ethically and responsibly integrated into educational settings?- What policies and safeguards are needed to address issues like misinformation, algorithmic bias and threats to academic integrity?- What challenges do Asia-Pacific countries face in harnessing generative AI in education, given the region’s unique context?- What are the strategies for Asia-Pacific countries to take up opportunities offered by generative AI, while mitigating the risks? In response to these questions and emerging challenges in the region, the UNESCO Regional Office in Bangkok (UNESCO Bangkok), in collaboration with The Southeast Asian Ministers of Education Organization (SEAMEO), organized the regional experts meeting on 7-9 November 2023 in Bangkok, Thailand. This hybrid meeting, titled ‘Empowering Minds: A Round Table on Generative AI and Education in Asia-Pacific’, explored the implications of generative AI for teacher training and development. It served as an important platform to leverage opportunities and mitigate risks of generative AI in education across the Asia-Pacific region.
