With one in five learners kept out of school, UNESCO mobilizes education ministers to face the COVID-19 crisis

20200310 UNESCO mobilizes education ministers to face the COVID 19 crisis

In response to a surge in school and university closures to contain the spread of COVID-19, UNESCO on Tuesday convened a global videoconference of high education officials to step up the emergency response and share strategies to minimize learning disruption worldwide. Seventy-three countries were represented including 24 education ministers and 15 vice ministers.

According to data released today by UNESCO, the crisis is now impacting close to 363 million learners worldwide, from the pre-primary to tertiary level, including 57.8 million students in higher education. One in five students worldwide is staying away from school due to the COVID-19 crisis and an additional one in four is being kept out of higher education establishments.

Fifteen countries have ordered nationwide school closures and 14 have implemented localized closures, spanning Asia, Europe, the Middle East and North America.

We are entering uncharted territory and working with countries to find hi-tech, low-tech and no-tech solutions to assure the continuity of learning

UNESCO Director-General Audrey Azoulay

“We are entering uncharted territory and working with countries to find hi-tech, low-tech and no-tech solutions to assure the continuity of learning,” said UNESCO Director-General Audrey Azoulay. “As countries try to prepare their response, international cooperation is vital to share the most effective approaches and support students, teachers and families. UNESCO is stepping up its support to ensure this crisis promotes innovation and inclusion and does not exacerbate learning inequalities.”

To steer the global response, UNESCO announced the creation of a UNESCO-COVID19 Emergency Task Force that will support national responses and share effective policy responses with a focus on the most vulnerable countries. A wider community of practice will be established to enhance knowledge sharing, peer learning and capacity building on distance and open learning. UNESCO aims to mobilize all actors involved, including the private sector. Partners such as Microsoft have already lent technical support to the Task Force.

Government representatives shared approaches and best practices during their exchange to ensure continuity of learning during school closures, the duration of which is unpredictable at this stage. The videoconference included ministers and representatives from China, Croatia, Egypt, France, Italy, Lebanon, Mexico, Nigeria, Japan, the Republic of Korea and the Islamic Republic of Iran.

We are facing an unusual situation with a large number of countries affected by the same issue at the same time. We need to come together not only to address the immediate educational consequences of this unprecedented crisis, but to build up the longer-term resilience of education systems

Stefania Giannini, UNESCO’s Assistant Director-General for Education

In addition to monitoring the impact of COVID-19 on education, UNESCO has published a curated list of freely accessible learning applications and platforms for use by parents, teachers and learners, as well as school systems. It is urging countries to use inclusion and equity as guiding principles when planning responses, recognizing that school closures hit vulnerable learners the hardest.

UNESCO’s expertise in open and distance learning spans teacher training platforms, the design of e-learning school models, online communities of practice and the development of national ICT in education policies, with a priority focus on Africa.

“We are facing an unusual situation with a large number of countries affected by the same issue at the same time. We need to come together not only to address the immediate educational consequences of this unprecedented crisis, but to build up the longer-term resilience of education systems,” said Stefania Giannini, UNESCO’s Assistant Director-General for Education.

Tarek Galal Shawki, Minister of Education of Egypt, for his part, thanked UNESCO for taking this initiative and providing real-time examples of how other countries are handling a fast-changing situation.

Ilya Ilyin: Digitalization will require a change in the education system

Ilya V. Ilyin - Dean of the Faculty of Global Processes, Moscow State University

The All-Russian Scientific and Practical Forum “Digitization-2018” has finished its work in Moscow.

More than 700 representatives of state authorities, scientific and educational organizations and businesses from many regions of Russia, countries of the EAEU and other countries took part in its work.

The Forum highlighted the problems of creating digital technologies for the economy, the training of highly qualified personnel, scientific support for digitalization of public administration, strategic planning in the field of national security and sustainable development, legal regulation of the digital economy.

How is “digitalization” understood in terms of the interdisciplinary science of global processes? First of all, it is one of the global processes, covering not only society, but also the sphere of technology created by it, and therefore nature itself. This is a socio-natural process that has become the mainstream in the development of mankind for the last decade. On the one hand, digitization is a part of the process of globalization, and on the other, it is one of the stages of the cybernetic revolution, which began around the middle of the last century. Digitalization is associated with a global transition to the sixth technological order; it brings serious challenges and threats not only for our country, but for all of humanity. Therefore, experts from various branches of science, economics, management, security, social services, health care, cosmonautics and journalism were widely involved to the work of the forum.

The forum was intended to strengthen the role of Russian science and higher education in accelerating the introduction of digital technologies in the economy and the social sphere, primarily in science and education. That is why the forum was organized in the format of a problem-oriented, focused on the practical tasks of the summit, scientific dialogue, education, innovative companies and government bodies.

Following the results of the Forum, recommendations on scientific support for the digital development of Russia were prepared taking into account the provisions of Presidential Decree No. 204 of May 7, 2018

One of the proposals is the creation of a Center for information and analytical support for priority areas of scientific and technological development.

The center is proposed to be created on the basis of the supercomputer complex of Moscow State University "Lomonosov-2", which is in the TOP-100 international supercomputer rating. It is the basis of the Supercomputer consortium of universities, which includes 62 organizations, as well as 47 universities.

The center will be able to give a promising picture of the development of Russia and its regions on a global scale, taking into account the interests of national security; it will help improve the quality of information, analytical and personnel support for decision-making in priority areas of the development of Russia’s science and technology.

Another result of the Forum was the proposal to form the Base of the best digital technologies for state and corporate governance. This project was widely approved by the forum participants, and the base began to actively grow.

We hope that the Forum “Digitalization” will become annual and turn out to be the leader of the “digital thought” of Russia in terms of its fundamental nature, versatility and breadth of the approaches proposed for solving the tasks facing our country.

Symposium in Comparative and International Education (OXSCIE) - 2018

Dear colleagues,

The Centre for Comparative and International Education, in the Department of Education, University of Oxford, in partnership with the Aga Khan Foundation and the Global Centre for Pluralism held the 2nd annual Oxford Symposium in Comparative and International Education (OXSCIE) from 19th-20th June 2018 at Keble College, Oxford.

The rapidly changing shape of the global political landscape has created for people everywhere uncertainties about their social, economic, demographic and climatological futures; and uncertainties about the future interact to change the nature of society, and threaten openness, pluralism and cohesion. Now seems a particularly important time to ask what kind of society we want, and what role education might play in achieving it.
The question for OXSCIE 2018, then, was ‘how can we, through education, best shape and sustain a society that is at once plural and cosmopolitan, prosperous and inclusive, fair and responsible, and cohesive?’ Moreover, how might we understand and document the social, cultural and economic pathways selected by young people and their families to navigate the changing nature of society?

OXSCIE 2018 invited 150 delegates from around the world to ask the 'big' questions about education and the future; about the kind of world we want, and in spite of contestation, how we might secure it.
Director of the Institute for Strategy of Education Development of the Russian Academy of Education, Corresponding Member of the Russian Academy of Education, Dr.Sc. (Philosophy), professor Svetlana V. Ivanova and Deputy Director, PhD (Education) Irina Elkina presented their paper “Post-industrial society and education quality”. The Organizing Committee of the Conference selected it among the 26 best articles from researchers from many countries of the world and awarded a full-time participation grant with a report in Oxford as authors who contributed to the research topics in the field of education in the modern changing world.
In 2016, this subject was first considered by the authors in the paper “Postmodernism and the quality of education: the formulation of the problem” (Values and Meanings Journal, Vol. 1, No. 6 (46), 2016).
