The importance of the culture sector to the economy is difficult to measure with current statistical tools. How much do artists, musicians or any cultural activity contribute to the dynamism of an economy?

The educational prosperity framework that I introduced in a recent blog provides an essential structure for understanding the holistic and cumulative ways that children develop, learn and thrive. The benefits of the framework are hardly theoretical: they provide an important and practical guide for ways that monitoring data can—and should—be used to create smarter and more effective policies to help young people thrive.
On World Teachers Day, this blog presents an assessment framework, called Education Prosperity, that can be used to track the success of teachers, families, communities and public institutions in developing children's cognitive skills and their social, emotional, physical and spiritual well-being.
En tant que source officielle des données de l’ODD 4, l’ISU travaille avec les pays et les partenaires pour parvenir à un consensus autour du nouveau programme de mesure tout en élaborant les indicateurs, les normes et les outils nécessaires pour suivre les progrès accomplis et aider les pays à améliorer la qualité et l’utilisation de leurs données dans le cadre de leurs efforts pour atteindre leurs objectifs de développement durable.
Pour la première fois, l’ISU a publié des données montrant que près d’un tiers des jeunes adolescents dans le monde a été récemment victime d’intimidation.
Almost one-third of young teens worldwide have recently experienced bullying, according to data published for the first time by the UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS). The data are part of a major new release of 32 global and thematic indicators to monitor progress towards Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG 4), which included the updating of the UIS global education database for the school year ending in 2017.
The latest figures on out-of-school-children are disappointing, showing progress that is – at best – painfully slow.
Les nouvelles données de l’Institut de statistique de l’UNESCO (ISU) révèlent qu’il y a toujours environ 262 millions d’enfants, d’adolescents et de jeunes âgés de 6 à 17 ans (soit un sur cinq) qui ne sont pas scolarisés. Ces chiffres s’élèvent à un enfant sur trois qui n’est pas scolarisé dans les pays à revenu faible et à revenu intermédiaire inférieur.
I am looking forward to this week’s WISE event in New York, which will bring together practitioners and thought-leaders determined to empower learners for future challenges. How? By innovating inside and outside the classroom to help current and future generations reach their full potential.
