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:

Baku, Azerbaijan, August 24, 2023 — Former world champion Magnus Carlsen defeated 18-year-old Indian prodigy R Praggnanandhaa in the World Cup Chess after two tie-breaks after a quiet draw in the second game of the finals. The match lasted about one and a half hours.
Carlsen won the crucial first rapid tiebreaker with black pieces in the evenly matched Giuoco Piano. Prag misplayed an attack on the black king in an even position, leading to an open and sharp endgame where he blundered in move 42.a6. Despite Carlsen’s suboptimal response, Prag continued to err in the next two moves, ultimately leading to his resignation on move 47.
Carlsen (playing as White) forced exchanges in a better position, resulting in a quiet game that ended in a draw on move 22, securing his first place.
The World Cup was the only major event Magnus Carlsen had not won in his career. He finished third in 2021. With this latest addition to his achievements, the world’s highest-rated player demonstrated that he is the ultimate force majeure of chess.

Washington, DC, July 25, 2023 — The International Monetary Fund (IMF) announced in a press briefing on July 25, 2023, that the global economy is gradually recovering from the pandemic and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The briefing marked the release of July’s update of the World Economic Outlook report.
According to the IMF’s baseline forecast, global growth will slow from 3.5% in 2022 to 3.0% this year and the next. However, this is an upgrade of 0.2 percentage points for 2023 from the IMF’s April projections.
IMF’s Chief Economist, Pierre-Olivier Gourinchas, stated that global economic activity has been resilient in the first quarter of this year, resulting in a modest upward revision for global growth in 2023. Although some positive changes have occurred since April, such as the recovery of supply chains and the decrease in COVID-19 cases, inflation remains high, and monetary policy tightening has raised borrowing costs, constraining economic activity. Gourinchas expressed concern about medium-term growth prospects and declining household purchasing power.
While some adverse risks have moderated, the balance remains tilted to the downside. Gourinchas highlighted that the main policy priority now is to conquer inflation. Central banks in economies with elevated and persistent core inflation should continue to signal their commitment to reducing inflation. Fiscal policy should tighten to rebuild fiscal buffers and reinforce the overall credibility of disinflation strategies, with targeted support for the most vulnerable.
Improvements to the economy’s supply side would facilitate fiscal consolidation and a smoother inflation decline toward target levels. Gourinchas urged urgent action to strengthen global cooperation on climate policies, international trade, or debt restructuring to address common challenges. The outlook has improved since April, but the balance of risks remains tilted downward, IMF concluded.

Gandhinagar, India. July 18, 2023 — Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund, Kristalina Georgieva, thanked the Indian government for their hospitality and praised Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman and Central Bank Governor Shaktikanta Das for their leadership during the G20 meeting in Gandhinagar, India.
Georgieva discussed the global economy’s resilience despite recent shocks and rising interest rates but noted that medium-term growth prospects remain weak and economic disparities across countries are a concern.
She called for G20 leaders to take domestic and international policy action to move the global economy onto a more vibrant medium-term path, emphasizing the need to durably bring inflation down, rebuild fiscal buffers, and implement growth-enhancing reforms.
She said that our world is wealthier than when the current international financial architecture was established, but it’s also more fragile. The global economy is resilient, but this resilience isn’t distributed evenly.
The IMF Chief concluded that we could achieve a more vibrant and inclusive future by implementing domestic policy actions to improve growth prospects and international action to support vulnerable members of our global community.
