"This report examines the regional and global state of Media and Information Literacy (MIL), a major theme identified in the Education 2030 Framework for Action. It is divided in three major sections: 1) definition of MIL, 2) good practices (curricula and pedagogy, teacher preparation, assessment) and 3) examples of collaboration between non-state actors and governments [...] The conclusion points to some recommendations in relation to the identified challenges. It suggests, inter alia: to place MIL in the remit of education systems, by inscribing it in the basic core curriculum, from K1 to K12; to bridge the gap between policy formulation and effective implementation, by making MIL training a compulsory component of teacher certification; to break the glass ceiling of sensible practices, by promoting more coordination among actors in the sector and fostering a global MIL governance."
