Literacy in multilingual and multicultural contexts: effective approaches to adult learning and education 出版年份: 2016 作者: Ulrike Hanemann, Cassandra Scarpino All of the literacy programmes featured in this publication offer valuable experiences and lessons on how the challenges posed by linguistic and cultural diversity can be productively addressed by harnessing the potential of language and culture as enriching resources in the process of literacy teaching and learning. A major lesson that has emerged over the years is that the use of local languages as the medium of instruction enhances the effectiveness and efficiency of the learning process in developing literacy, numeracy and (second or more) language skills. However, mother tongue-based literacy not only facilitates the learning process, but is also an important symbol of identity, unity and self-determination. It is closely intertwined with culture and local values, wisdom, worldviews and tradition. A number of the featured programmes demonstrate that language and culture in education are highly political. Respect for all languages and cultures, and their equal treatment, can play a critical role in fostering national cohesion. In some cases, this is contributing to rebuilding peace in post-conflict communities. Literacy programmes that contribute to the preservation of linguistic and cultural diversity should, also, be viewed as integral to sustainable development. CONFINTEA VI Mid-Term Review 2017: The Status of Adult Learning and Education in Sub-Saharan Africa; Regional Report 出版年份: 2017 作者: John Aitchison 机构作者: UNESCO Institute for Lifelong Learning (UIL) The Sustainable Development Goals include educational targets which are entirely congruent with the existing focuses of ALE in African countries – to ‘ensure that all youth and a substantial proportion of adults, both men and women, achieve literacy and numeracy’ (4.6), to ‘substantially increase the number of youth and adults who have relevant skills, including technical and vocational skills, for employment, decent jobs and entrepreneurship’ (4.4) and to ‘ensure that all learners acquire the knowledge and skills needed to promote sustainable development, including, among others, through education for sustainable development and sustainable lifestyles, human rights, gender equality, promotion of a culture of peace and non-violence, global citizenship and appreciation of cultural diversity and of culture’s contribution to sustainable development’ (4.7). National targets and the criteria for success in reaching those targets will need to be developed. Undoubtedly, international cooperation and international support can help this gearing-up process.  CONFINTEA VI Mid-term Review 2017: The Status of Adult Learning and Education in Asia and the Pacific; Regional Report 出版年份: 2017 作者: Govinda, Rangachar 机构作者: UNESCO Institute for Lifelong Learning (UIL) Adult learning and education policies and practices should be closely aligned with developments in school education. A quick survey of the state of education in the region reveals that significant progress has been made in providing basic education to all children. However, the achievements are noticeably uneven across sub-regions. For example, around 16 million primary-school-aged children and around 34 million lower-secondary-aged adolescents in the Asia-Pacific region are not in school; two-thirds of these are in South Asia (UIS, 2015). Outof-school children are an important concern as, barring special intervention, they are likely to remain non-literate as they grow into adulthood.  The Role of Higher Education in Promoting Lifelong Learning 出版年份: 2015 作者: Yang Jin, Schneller.Chripa, Roche.Stephen 机构作者: UNESCO Institute for Lifelong Learning (UIL) UNESCO’s vision of lifelong learning encompasses all contexts (formal, non-formal and informal) and ages (‘from cradle to grave’) of learning. The UNESCO Institute for Lifelong Learning and its predecessor, the UNESCO Institute for Education, have promoted policy and practice in this field for more than four decades. The decision to produce this volume was prompted by an observation that lifelong learning – both as a concept and in its many practical manifestations – is becoming a staple of education policy discourse around the globe. At the same time, we noted that understandings of lifelong learning differ widely, not only between countries, but also across the sub-sectors of education systems.This book, which emerged from a seminar held in 2012 to mark the 60th anniversary of the UNESCO Institute for Lifelong Learning, addresses various ways that higher education can promote lifelong learning, paying due consideration to regional disparities and specificities. These include responses to the learning needs of senior citizens in China, the challenge of implementing recurrent education in Japan, European efforts to develop a common approach to life-long learning at university, and how a lifelong learning approach is put into practice in higher education in Australia. It is hoped that this book will help the reader gain a better understanding of the theoretical frameworks and practical implementation of lifelong learning in higher education, both within their own region and globally.  Towards CONFINTEA VII: adult learning and education and the 2030 Agenda 出版年份: 2019 机构作者: UNESCO Institute for Lifelong Learning (UIL) The CONFINTEA VI Mid-Term Review (MTR) Conference took place in Suwon and Osan, Republic of Korea, in October 2017. Stakeholders from 95 UNESCO Member States assessed progress in implementing the Belém Framework for Action (BFA) and discussed the next steps. The BFA, which was adopted by delegates at the Sixth International Conference on Adult Education (CONFINTEA VI) in Belém, Brazil, in December 2009, records the commitments of Member States and presents a strategic guide for the future development of adult learning and education (ALE) within the perspective of lifelong learning. This publication constitutes the third outcome document of the conference. It provides an overview of the main thematic debates. The chapters follow the conference themes and aim to illustrate or underpin the main arguments and way forward set out in the Suwon-Osan Statement.  UNESCO Institute for Lifelong Learning: promoting lifelong learning for all 出版年份: 2019 机构作者: UNESCO Institute for Lifelong Learning (UIL) The UN’s 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development is our guide to action. Leaving no one behind is at the centre of this global planof action for people, planet and prosperity. The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development consists of 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). UIL has a special responsibility for supporting countries to ‘ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all’ (SDG 4). But we are also charged with realizing the potential contribution of lifelong learning to the other 16 SDGs. In today’s fast-changing world, where social, economic and political contexts are being constantly reshaped, learning must be continuous and lifelong, for everyone.  Measuring Global Citizenship Education in Southeast Asia: A SEA PLM Approach 出版年份: 2018 作者: Ethel Agnes P. Valenzuela 机构作者: Southeast Asian Ministers of Education Organization (SEAMEO) | UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS) Audit of Curricula for the Southeast Asia Primary Learning Metrics (March 2016), an early issue confronted in developing an assessment framework for SEA-PLM wasdetermining how to design and construct a single assessment program across all ASEAN member countries.The design and approach needed to take account of the similarities and differences in the curriculum frameworks in each country for the four domains that were to be assessed through SEA-PLM: Mathematics, Reading, Writing, and Global Citizenship.  Alphabétisation et éducation pour le développement durable et l'autonomisation des femmes 出版年份: 2014 作者: Anna Robinson-Pant 机构作者: UNESCO Institute for Lifelong Learning (UIL) The fact that women constitute two-thirds of the world’s non-literate population has been a cause for concern for several decades now. Despite a number of high-profile literacy interventions specifically targeting women – including UNESCO’s LIFE initiative – the disparity between male and female literacy rates persists in many countries of the world (UIL, 2013). This starting point for thinking about women’s literacy has however often led to a narrow focus on literacy access and outcomes. Whilst educational policy makers and planners have attempted to identify and overcome barriers to women’s participation, researchers have directed their attention to measuring the social and economic benefits of women’s literacy (see Robinson-Pant, 2004). Statistical correlations have been presented as evidence of the impact of women’s literacy: for instance, in Pakistan, women with a high level of literacy earned 95% more than women with no literacy skills yet there was only a 33% differential amongst men (UNESCO 2012: 196). Barriers to participation have been analysed in terms of structural (timing, location, women-only versus mixed gender) and social (marriage, poverty, language hierarchies) factors (see Ballara 1991). Within such analysis however, little attention has been given to the social processes associated with literacy learning and development. By contrast, this paper sets out to take a wider lens on literacy in order to explore not only ‘what works’ in practical terms of encouraging women to participate programmes, but also to look at how and why literacy programmes can contribute to sustainable development and processes of empowerment. Taking this perspective on women’s literacy involves asking alternative questions from the more usual ‘how can we make more women literate?’ Approaching literacy through the lens of sustainable development and women’s empowerment means that we develop a more nuanced understanding of how different kinds of literacy emerge from or support different development approaches and how women engage with such processes of change. How is literacy related to sustainable development programmes? What does empowerment mean to different women in different situations? What kind of research evidence and knowledge are literacy programmes and policy building on? How can adult learning facilitate economic, social and environmental change? These larger questions will guide the conceptual exploration of sustainable development, women’s empowerment and literacy, as well as the review of literacy programmes presented in this paper. The starting assumption is that only by looking in depth at the processes of literacy learning and development practice can we begin to address the challenge of narrowing the gender gap in literacy attainment.
