Le Québec a rejoint le projet pilote international placé sous la direction de l’UNESCO et de l’ISU visant à réduire l’écart entre les sexes dans les professions de la science, la technologie, l’ingénierie et les mathématiques (STEM). Le coup d’envoi officiel du projet sera donné le 1er février par un atelier au Bureau du ministère de l’Économie, de la Science et de l’Innovation à Montréal.
Representatives of the nine most-populated countries in the world will gather in Dhaka from 5 to 7 February to renew and align their cooperation in light of the Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG 4) - Education 2030 Agenda.
The UIS is hosting a series of webinars to support the implementation of the SDG 4 - Education 2030 Agenda at the national, regional and international levels.
On 24-25 January, Buenos Aires will host the first regional ministerial meeting “E2030: Education and Skills for the 21st Century” within the framework of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Education ministers and representatives of multilateral organizations in the region will discuss how to align national education policies and priorities with the SDG 4 commitment to “ensure inclusive and quality education for all and promote lifelong learning”.
I welcome the launch of the Cape Town Global Action Plan for Sustainable Development Data, which was released today at the UN World Data Forum. The plan directly reflects the mandate, priorities and services of the UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS).
Les données sur la Science, la Technologie et l’Innovation (STI) joueront un rôle essentiel garantissant la réalisation des Objectifs de développement durable (ODD), de la santé et l’éducation au développement économique et à l’environnement.
In his short story “Instructions to climb a ladder,” Julio Cortazar uses more than 380 words to explain an action that, you would think, requires no explanation at all. He writes, for example: “The first steps are always the most difficult, just to acquire the coordination needed.” He also notes the coincidence of the raising of “the foot” and “the foot” of the ladder.
The successful achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals will depend in large part on our degree of success in delivering on Goal 4 on education.
UNESCO has released key findings from the Director-General’s Report on the Safety of Journalists and the Danger of Impunity.
The report sheds light on the killings of journalists, acts which were condemned by the Director-General in 2014-2015, noting that 2015 was the second-deadliest year for journalists, media workers and social media producers.
UNESCO has recorded 827 killings over the past ten years. Of those deaths, 90% remain unresolved; a sign of the impunity that surrounds attacks on the press.
The Survey of Cultural Employment collects data that will be used to better understand the contribution of culture to economic and social development globally. These data will enable the UIS to produce high-quality, cross-nationally comparable data and indicators that support Sustainable Development Goal 8, the promotion of inclusive and sustainable economic growth, employment and decent work for all.
