A new UNESCO report shows that the shortage of teachers is a problem not only in Germany, but worldwide. New data suggests that 44 million additional teachers will be needed to achieve universal primary and secondary education for all children by 2030. This is one of the demands of Goal 4 "Quality Education" of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations. From an international perspective, the UNESCO report provides answers to questions such as: "Where is the teacher shortage greatest?", "Why is there so much teacher shortage worldwide?" or "How can the teacher shortage be solved?"


Early education from an international trade union perspective

The November 2023 newsletter of the global union federation "Education International" focussed on the elementary sector. Various articles provide statistics and studies on the state of early childhood education and the staffing situation worldwide. Topics such as gender, inclusion and the Covid-19-crisis are also discussed. In addition, questions are asked about the state of decent working conditions for early childhood staff 10 years after the adoption of the International Labour Organization (ILO) guidelines.

Education International brings together organisations of teachers and other education workers from all over the world.

The OECD's new PISA study, the "Programme for International Student Assessment", has just been published. It notes a worldwide “unprecedented performance drop”, which is of course attributed, among other things, but not only, to the school closures during the Corona years. The 2022 PISA report consists of two publications that summarise the individual country notes: "The State of Learning and Equity in Education" (Volume 1) and "Learning During - and From - Disruption" (Volume 2).

    On July 26, 2023, the new Unesco Education Report was published. This time its focus is on technology in education, with a question in the subtitle: "A tool on whose terms?".

    The report explores the debates surrounding the opportunities and risks of technology in education. The authors examine education challenges to which appropriate use of technology can offer solutions (access, equity and inclusion; quality; technology advancement; system management), while recognizing that many solutions proposed may also be detrimental.
    The report also explores three system-wide conditions (access to technology, governance regulation, and teacher preparation) that need to be met for any technology in education to reach its full potential.

    In addition to the overall report, you can also find 200 country reports on the situation of technology in education in the respective country.


    New webdossier: Cyber attacks on education - a worldwide problem

    We admit that the topic of our new dossier is not a very festive one given that Christmas is coming soon.  But it is a topic that has directly concerned us at the DBS and DIPF Institute over the past few weeks, as we ourselves have been victims of a cyber attack. Education Worldwide took the opportunity to research the topic of cybercrime in the field of education. It turned out that education is one of the most popular targets for hackers around the world. The sources we compiled for our webdossier will tell you the reasons for this, it will present you facts and statistics, and it will show you some examples of how different countries are dealing with this problem in the education sector.


    Special Focus: Digital Education in Ukraine

    During the war in Ukraine in 2022, many Ukrainians had to flee to other countries. Once there, the question of schooling for the Ukrainian children quickly arose. In this context, Ukraine's good digital education infrastructure was often praised. It allows Ukrainian children to go on learning in their own language with their own curricula, their own teachers, and maybe their own classmates - no matter whether they may still be in Ukraine or in a totally different country. "Education Worldwide" therefore adds a new section to its webdossier on "Education in Ukraine" which provides information on digital education in Ukraine.


    Chart of the month: Worldwide attacks on education in the context of armed conflicts (2015-2020)

    The chart documents the number of incidents of attacks on education from 2015 to 2020 in selected countries in the context of armed conflicts. (Link to the original chart)

    With regard to current events (war in Ukraine 2022), our chart of the month highlights the number of attacks on educational institutions in selected countries between 2015 and 2020. As you can see, Ukraine was already included in the sad statistics before 2022. The graph is part of the Unesco Global Education Monitoring Report (GEM Report) 2021/22. The data used for the graph are taken from "Education Under Attack 2020", a report published by the Global Coalition to Protect Education from Attack (GCPEA). There is a "Country Profile" for each country examined. We provide links to the publications of Unesco and the GCPEA as well as to the country profile on Ukraine below.

    The Unesco (United Nations Educational, Scientific, Cultural and Communication Organisation) and the OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development) are two of the largest international players when it comes to reports, studies and other publications on education. Both have therefore published several interesting publications on the subject of the corona pandemic (COVID-19) and education. We link their publication lists here. The literature is usually free of costs and freely accessible. Sometimes it is also available in different languages.
