UNESCO at the School of Education
The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), is the UN’s specialised agency for education. UNESCO plays a pivotal role in global education and vocational education, advocating for access to quality education to be prioritised as a fundamental human right and a cornerstone for peace and sustainable development.
This work includes publishing the Global Education Monitoring Report and multiple resources that synthesise and analyse the best available data, evidence and research to inform national, regional and global debates on a wide range of education issues.
The School of Education has a formal relationship with UNESCO through two programmes:
UNESCO Chair in International Education and Development
The UNESCO Chair in International Education and Development, led by Professor Juliet Thondlhana, has a focus on the key role of higher education in the field of international education and development.
