The #G20 Leaders' Summit is this weekend. My article with Ivan Matovich looks at the G20 and T20's role in #GlobalEducation #Policy: The G20 and the Think 20 as New Global #Education Policy Actors? Discursive analysis of roles and policy ideas

The G20 was positioned as education : (1) policymaker, (2) policy shaper and 3) knowledge mobiliser, and education reform to enable: (1) economic adaptation, (2) technical adaptation, and (3) socio-political adaptation

Many of you would have seen the story on #UNESCO suggesting a ban on #Smartphones in #Schools.

That suggestion comes from the analysis done in the 2023 Global #Education Monitoring Report. This year's theme is, '#Technology in Education: a tool on whose terms'.

Profiting from disaster and emergency is a driver for a number of private sector actors and firms - what Naomi Klein famously termed 'disaster #Capitalism'.

The #GlobalEducation market has 1.7 billion active learners. #EdTech has been a key sector looking to accumulate value in #Education. The pandemic provides renewed investment logic and opportunity.

If you're interested in research on this topic @BenPatrickWill is a great follow.

The High-Level Panel on the #Teaching Profession starts its work. It is supported by a joint #UNESCO-#ILO Secretariat.

It builds on the outcomes of the Transforming #Education Summit 'to ensure that every learner has access to a professionally trained, qualified, and well-supported teacher who can thrive within a transformed education system.'

@joriki Yes - every time I teach global #Policy or #GlobalEducation the students are always shocked and surprised at the US response of not ratifying the #UN Convention of the Rights of the Child.

New #DataViz by the World Bank #SDG Atlas showing the effects of #COVD on #Education globally.

As expected, higher-income countries fared relatively better, and within country, higher-income households had relatively more continued access via online and other supports.

@bolden @themarkup This has been a trend for a very long time. Students of color have an 80% higher rate of ending up with disciplinary actions for normal behavior than their white peers. It’s worse for minor infractions. It doesn’t help that US teacher education programs focus almost entirely on crowd control techniques with no real instruction in how to teach. #teachers #professors #teachertraining #TeacherEducation #globaleducation #bipoc

I don’t know who Secretary Cardona thinks is going to train students to be globally competitive. US teacher training programs don’t even have that as part of the educator toolkit for future teachers. You can’t teach what you don’t know. #studentteachers #Education #professors #FutureTeachers #academic #GloballyCompetitive #phdstudents #globaleducation https://www.edweek.org/policy-politics/book-bans-and-divisive-concepts-laws-will-hold-u-s-students-back-secretary-cardona-says/2023/04
