UNESCO IIEP announces Six Priority Areas
To mark its 60th anniversary, UNESCO IIEP (UNESCO International Institute for Educational Planning) presents six key thematic areas for planning education for a stronger, more equitable future.
Paris, France, August 28, 2023 — As UNESCO IIEP (UNESCO International Institute for Educational Planning) celebrates its 60th anniversary, it has presented six crucial areas for education planning that will pave the way for a stronger, more equitable future.
The first area focuses on improving learning outcomes for students, ensuring that they receive a high-quality education that prepares them for success in the future.
The second area emphasizes the importance of equity and inclusion, aiming to create a level playing field for all students, regardless of their background.
The third area highlights the need to enhance digital technology in education, recognizing technology’s pivotal role in modern-day learning.
The fourth area focuses on planning for crises and natural hazards, ensuring schools are well-equipped to handle emergencies and disruptions.
The fifth area emphasizes the importance of planning for skills and work transition, recognizing that the job market is constantly changing, and students must prepare for future challenges.
Finally, the sixth area focuses on promoting good governance and transparency in educational management and financing, ensuring that governments allocate resources effectively and efficiently to benefit students and educators.
Many factors affect education, from technological advancements to conflict and climate change. To ensure effective policy planning and implementation, education planners and managers must stay up-to-date with new approaches and tools and constantly update their practices.
UNESCO IIEP is a learning institute that stays abreast of new trends and contributes to how planning evolves. It helps countries achieve their education goals by using an integrated approach to capacity development and providing findings and experiences from its research and development, training, and technical cooperation.
UNESCO IIEP recognizes that using and managing data for planning is critical for education systems to be inclusive, transparent, resilient, flexible, and oriented to student learning.
UNESCO IIEP (UNESCO International Institute for Educational Planning) is an arm of UNESCO created in 1963 in Paris, France. It develops the capacities of education actors to plan and manage their education systems through training, technical assistance, policy research, and knowledge-sharing programs. It also issues country-specific information for use by local educational administrations, such as, for example:
The report “Funding Mechanism of Thrust Areas of Higher Education in India” is jointly published by UNESCO IIEP and UGC (University Grants Commission), India.
