"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) a ... nd 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."

"This report outlines the actions driven towards inclusive education, including skill-based training, online learning and classroom settings, and low-tech to high-tech assistive technology (AT). Skill-based training, one of the most important skills for Persons with Disabilities (PWDs), covers life ... skills, vocational training, mobility training, communication and social training, and academic training. This report emphasizes the AT for enabling inclusive education for the PWDs, opening a broader perspective on technology serving this purpose, i.e., physical and digital products that assist PWDs in achieving their goals. However, eight common challenges, shared by the six countries, have been identified: the need to strengthen policies, critical budget, poor implementation, lack of training, limited access, lack of awareness, negative attitude, and cultural and language barriers. These challenges are viewed as interconnected, as none can be resolved without involving another, posing another level of challenge to be implemented, in need of strategies and proper planning for a concerted effort to put forth by each country. Nonetheless, the countries remain steadfast and continue strengthening their policies and efforts toward inclusive education for PWDs." (Abstract) more
