The mandate of UNICEF is to promote the survival,
protection and development of children. Central to this mandate is
the right of every child to participate in and benefit from
education. This document elaborates on the
mandate.
The purpose of this document is to provide a practical
interpretation of the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC)
in terms of its implications for implementation of the policy on
basic education instituted by the UNICEF Executive Board in May
1995.
In 1999, the Executive Board reviewed progress since the
World Conference on Education For All held at Jomtien, Thailand.
The document reports on progress to date in achieving universal
basic education, as well as on the challenges and future
strategies in basic education.
Making
Quality Basic Education Affordable: What have we
learned?
This
paper examines the financing of education, issues related to
costs, strategies to contain costs, ways to extend the reach of
education through nonformal approaches; identifies key priorities
for UNICEF; and concludes that while there are considerable
potential savings from a range of strategies to reduce costs and
mobilize more resources, there are no short cuts to
quality.
Education is an inalienable right - one that all children,
including those caught in natural and human-made emergiencies,
must be able to access. This paper addresses the challenges and
issues involved in providing education to children experiencing
these difficult circumstances. Global
Agenda for Children: Learning for the 21st Century
In order for
the world to survive and prosper in the new century, people will
need to learn more and learn differently. A child entering the new
century will likely face more risks and uncertainties and will
need to gain more knowledge and master more skills than any
generation before.
Peace
Education in UNICEF
Peace
education is an essential component of quality basic education.
This paper defines peace education as the process of promoting the
knowledge, skills, attitudes and values needed to bring about
behaviour changes that will enable children, youth and adults to
prevent conflict and violence, both overt and structural; to
resolve conflict peacefully: and to create the conditions
conducive to peace. Child
Development in UNICEF Programming
The purpose of
this document is to articulate a conceptual framework and a
rationale for UNICEF programmes to improve child development as
part of a broader effort toward human development.
Curriculum
Report Card
For this study
, UNICEF Education Programme Officers (EPO's) from nearly 60
countries answered questions about Life Skills, peace education,
gender, reading and writing skills, and learning outcomes in
national cirricula.
The report is
organised to :
(1) show
linkages between curriculum, teaching and learning
outcomes;
(2) outline
UNICEF priorities in supporting curricular
programming;
(3) describe
the ways in which key areas can be integrated into or
main-streamed across the curriculum, and
(4) discuss
the processes of curriculum change that contribute to improved
education quality for children in
schools. Defining
Quality
In reviewing
the research literature related to Quality in Education, UNICEF
takes a broader perspective and demonstrates by this analysis
that programmes must encompass a broader defination involving
learners, content, processes, environments and
outcomes. The CRC and
Education
The purpose of
this document is to provide a practicle interpretation of the
Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) in terms of its
implications for implementation of the policy on basic education
instituted by the UNICEF Board of Directors in May
1995.
