UNICEF Report : For every child, a fair chance – The promise of equity

Posted on by anne-michelle ekedi

UNICEF’s commitment to equity – giving a fair chance in life to every child, everywhere, especially the most disadvantaged – is built on the conviction that it is right in principle and evidence that it is right in practice. This report makes the case for closing persistent gaps in equity, because the cycle of inequity is neither inevitable nor insurmountable, and the cost of inaction is too high.

Manifesto: Educate towards environment and sustainable development – So that Europe takes action

Posted on by anne-michelle ekedi

Environmental education towards sustainable development (EESD) is a necessity for our societies. Since the challenges are growing and becoming more complex, this education requires more than ever the implementation of voluntary and consistent policies at a European level. However, the commitments made by the governments are still too little visible on the field. Starting from this fact, more than 150 actors, associations and institutions involved in EESD from different countries participated in the drafting of the Manifesto “Educate towards environment and sustainable development “. They gathered in the Manifesto 20 proposals for an ambitious EESD in Europe that applies to the school sector, non-formal education, second grade teaching, the labor sector, to professionalism and evaluation of EESD and finally to the effective integration of EESD in the heart of European policies.

The manifesto is available here: http://for-eesd-in-europe.org/sites/default/files/manifeste%20EEDD%20-%20English.pdf

UNESCO: A teacher’s guide on the prevention of violent extremism

Posted on by anne-michelle ekedi

This is UNESCO’s first Teacher’s Guide on the Prevention of Violent Extremism through education. This document has been developed to enhance its capacity to provide assistance to countries as they work to strengthen their education sector responses to violent extremism, including through human-rights-based Global Citizenship Education (GCED) programmes, keeping in mind national contexts. This guidance seeks to provide countries with a set of resources that can help build and reinforce national capacities to address the drivers of violent extremism through holistic and pragmatic education sector-wide.

UN Women: Gender equality, child development and job creation: How to reap the ‘triple dividend’ from early childhood education and care services

Posted on by anne-michelle ekedi

This brief synthesizes research findings, analysis and policy recommendations for realizing the triple dividend from early childhood education and care (ECEC) services. As those who carry out the bulk of childcare—as unpaid caregivers as well as service providers in day-care and preschool institutions—women have a huge stake in this issue. However, the implications for women, as mothers or childcare workers, have been insufficiently reflected in the work of international organizations and many national-level policies that tend to focus mainly on children.

This study presents a situation analysis of the status of national mechanisms in the 53 Member States in Africa over the last five years.
