Don’t just blame the teacher when the system is at fault, says UNESCO
UNESCO’s 2017/8 Global Education Monitoring (GEM) Report highlights the responsibility of governments to provide universal quality education and stresses that accountability is indispensable in achieving this goal. The Report, released today, warns that disproportionate blame on any one actor for systemic educational problems can have serious negative side effects, widening inequality and damaging learning.
“Education is a shared responsibility between us all– governments, schools, teachers, parents and private actors,” said UNESCO Director-General Irina Bokova. “Accountability for these responsibilities defines the way teachers teach, students learn, and governments act. It must be designed with care and with the principles of equity, inclusion and quality in mind.”
Accountability in education: meeting our commitments, the second in the GEM Report series, which monitors progress towards the internationally agreed Sustainable Development Goal for Education (SDG4), looks at the different ways people and institutions can be held accountable for reaching that goal, including regulations, testing, monitoring, audits, media scrutiny, and grass root movements.
The Report demonstrates that blaming teachers for poor test scores and absenteeism is often both unjust and unconstructive. It show, for example, that nearly half of teacher absenteeism in Indonesia in 2013/14 was due to excused time for study for which replacements should have been provided. Similarly, in Senegal, only 12 of the 80 missed school days in 2014 were due to teachers avoiding their responsibilities. People cannot be held accountable for outcomes that depend on the actions of others.
“Using student test scores to sanction teachers and schools makes it more likely they will adjust their behaviour to protect themselves, which may mean leaving the weakest learners behind,” explains Manos Antoninis, Director of the GEM Report. “Accountability must start with governments. If a government is too quick to apportion blame to others, it is deflecting attention away from its own responsibility for creating a strong, supportive education system.”
Whereas transparency would help identify problems, only one in six governments publish annual education monitoring reports. Strong independent bodies such as ombudsmen, parliaments and audit institutions are also needed to hold governments to account for education.
Lack of accountability opens the door to corruption. In the European Union in 2009-2014, 38% of education and training tenders only had one bidder, compared to 16% of tenders in the construction sector, indicating that the risk of corruption is higher in education than in the building industry.
Setting and enforcing regulations ranging from contract tendering to teacher qualifications are also crucial, argues the Report. Fewer than half of low and middle-income countries had standards for early childhood education and just a handful had mechanisms to monitor compliance. There are no regulations on class sizes in almost half of countries.
Government regulations are often too slow to keep up with the fast growth of private schools and universities. In Lagos, Nigeria, only 26% of private schools in 2010/2011 had been approved by the State Ministry of Education. In countries with weak accreditation processes, thousands of students graduate with unrecognized degrees. In Kenya and Uganda, private schools were operating without qualified teachers and with inadequate infrastructure before regulations were put in place and courts shut them down.
There needs to be better regulation of private tutoring, due to be worth over 200 billion by 2020 as a global industry, and a practice that is widening the education gap between rich and poor. In India, in 2007/08 about 40% of urban secondary students received private tutoring, compared with about 26% of rural students. Better-educated households in urban areas with children attending private schools were more likely to pay for private tutoring (Azam, 2016).
Accreditation of private higher education institutions also needs to be better regulated. India has about 1 million rural medical practitioners who are not graduates of accredited schools. Government and court records showed that, between 2010 and 2015, at least 69 of the 398 medical colleges and teaching hospitals had been accused of rigging entrance examinations or accepting bribes to admit students. The regulator recommended closing 24 of the colleges (Clark, 2015).
Where formal mechanisms fail, citizens play a vital role in holding governments to account for meeting their right to education. In Colombia, a citizens’ campaign successfully challenged the government in court leading to the establishment of free education. In the United States, parents and media successfully lobbied for the removal of climate change denial from textbooks, and students in South Africa were able to halt university tuition hikes.
The Report emphasizes the importance of accountability in addressing gaps and inequalities. Globally, less than 20% of countries legally guarantee 12 years of free and compulsory education. There are 264 million children and youth out of school and 100 million young people currently unable to read. In India, a quarter are not completing lower secondary education, there are 266 million adults and 33 million young people unable to read (UNESCO Institute for Statistics).
The Report cites an accountability vacuum with donors not delivering on their aid commitments for those in need. The share of aid to education has fallen for six years in a row. At the same time, donors increasingly demand that in exchange for aid, countries achieve results that sometimes divert energy away from systemic improvements in the education system.
No approach to accountability will be successful without a strong enabling environment that provides actors with adequate resources, capacity, motivation and information to fulfil their responsibilities. The Report calls on governments to:
1. Design accountability for schools and teachers that is supportive and avoid punitive mechanisms, especially those based on narrow performance measures.
2. Allow for democratic participation, respect media freedom to scrutinize education and set up independent institutions to handle complaints.
3. Develop credible and efficient regulations with associated sanctions for all education providers, public and private, that ensure non-discrimination and the quality of education.
4. Make the right to education justiciable, which is not the case in 45% of countries.

Verhofstadt says no Brexit deal yet

Britain and the EU have yet to strike a deal on an initial Brexit divorce package, the European Parliament’s Brexit coordinator Guy Verhofstadt said on Monday. The announcement came after Verhofstadt met with the EU’s negotiator Michel Barnier. Verhofstadt put the chances of a deal when British Prime Minister Theresa May visits Brussels later in the day at 50-50. He said the Parliament was still pressing for more from London on guarantees for the rights of EU citizens in Britain, Reuters reported.

France, Germany say Iran ‘must reverse’ ballistic missile program

France and Germany agree that Iran must reverse its ballistic missile program, Reuters quoted the French foreign minister as saying on Monday. “We also have the same view on the necessity for Iran to go back on its ballistic missile program and its hegemonic temptations” across the Middle East, Jean-Yves Le Drian said at a news conference alongside his German counterpart Sigmar Gabriel. Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman earlier on Monday said Paris should know that Iran’s missile program is not an issue that can be negotiated.

German coalition formative talks in week

Germany’s SPD leader Martin Schulz said on Monday that talks with Chancellor Angela Merkel’s conservatives about forming a government could start next week. However, the party members should give the go-ahead at the SPD congress later this week. “We’ll explore whether and how the formation of a government is possible in Germany,” Schulz said, according to Reuters. The SPD leadership has agreed to recommend to its members to enter talks with the conservatives, Schulz said.

DHS secretary nominee, votes to end debate

On Monday, the Senate voted 59-33 to invoke cloture and end the debate on the confirmation of Kirstjen Nielsen as the new Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). President Donald Trump formally nominated Nielsen to lead the agency in October, but her confirmation was delayed in November after Senate Homeland Security Committee members presented her with nearly 200 follow-up questions. Senator Dan Sullivan (R-Alaska) said Democrats were causing a “big problem” by delaying confirmations of “very, very qualified” nominees. Nielsen, who previously served as White House Chief of Staff John Kelly’s top aide at DHS, will be replacing Acting Secretary Elaine Duke, who held the position since Kelly was appointed to the White House in July.

Russia lists 9 media outlets as foreign agents

Nine media outlets have been registered as foreign agents by Russia’s Justice Ministry, in accordance with a recently passed law. The law comes in response to the US Congress’s moves towards RT America.
On Tuesday, Voice of America and Radio Free Europe / Radio Liberty, including its regional branch Radio Azatliq, along with six other outlets were recognized as foreign agents, according to the website of Russia’s Ministry of Justice.
The list also includes the Kavkaz.Realii, Krym Realii and Sibir Realii websites, the Current Time TV channel – a joint project of Voice of America and Radio Free Europe / Radio Liberty – the Radio Liberty-owned factograph.info website and IdelRealii project.

Vijay Sharma teams up with UN Environment to tackle air pollution

 Vijay Sharma teams up with UN Environment to tackle air pollution
Nairobi, 4 December 2017 – Vijay Shekhar Sharma, founder of India’s largest mobile-first financial services conglomerate Paytm, today vowed to tackle air pollution across the globe as he became UN Environment’s Patron for Clean Air.
As UN Environment’s newest patron, Vijay will help drive greater environmental action and awareness, and advocate for the goals of UN Environment’s global #BreatheLife campaign – a major initiative on air quality seeking to influence policy and citizen action for a healthy future.
With 9 out of 10 people worldwide breathing unsafe air, indoor and outdoor air pollution is the world’s biggest environmental health risk, killing about 6.5 million people worldwide.
“Delhi is like a mother who is saying she is in pain,” Vijay said, referring to the problem of air pollution in his adopted hometown. “This starts from Delhi and becomes a national and global concern.
“I am honoured to be appointed UN Environment Patron of Clean Air. We can’t achieve economic well-being without ensuring the well-being of the environment. The private sector is key to ensure cleaner air and a more sustainable future for us all.”
According to the World Health Organization, half of the 20 most-polluted cities in the world (levels of PM2.5, a fine particulate matter), are in India, with Delhi coming in at number 11 overall.
Air pollution is, however, a global problem. Cities in Bangladesh, Cameroon, China, Iran, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia make up the rest of the top 20, while London, Paris and other major cities face growing problems.
Featured in Time Magazine’s ‘100 Most Influential People’ 2017 List, Vijay launched Paytm Payments Bank in 2017. As India’s largest digital bank, it aims to provide banking and financial services to 500 million un-served and under-served Indians.
Vijay identified three major opportunities for action on air quality during his designation at the UN Environment Assembly, which brings together over 2,000 heads of state, ministers, business leaders, UN officials and civil society representatives in Nairobi to tackle the global menace of pollution.
Electric vehicles and making people more aware of the problem and its solutions are high on his radar, but he sees better measurement of India’s air quality as an important first step over the next 12-18 months.
With his appointment, Mr. Sharma joins Patron of the Oceans Lewis Pugh and Wilderness Patron Ben Fogle.
“Tackling pollution requires all of us, citizens, governance and business to come together. We need more champions in the private sector like Mr. Sharma to drive innovation that will get us to a cleaner future,” said Erik Solheim, head of UN Environment.

May has until Monday night to meet an EU deadline for Britain to make “satisfactory progress” on the issues of the Brexit bill, citizens’ rights and the border in order to trigger trade talks this month.
