UNESCO's GEM Report 2022!- 15-Nov-2022
UNESCO recently released new Global Education Monitoring Report 2022. The report carries diverse educational environments prevailing in South Asian countries.
Key takeaways and recommendations of the report:
* At every stage of education in South Asia, non-governmental and private institutions play a significant role. Therefore, at all levels of education, they should be seen as part of the educational system.
* Due to poor facilities and quality provided by government educational institutions, parents are turning to private educational institutions. About a third of students in India and Pakistan and a quarter in Nepal study in private schools.
* 90 percent of teaching education institutions in India are funded only through tuition fees.
* Expectation of education through English medium has fuelled the rise of international schools in Sri Lanka.
* In Bhutan, preschool education is limited to families only who could afford it.
* Though innovative initiatives are often largely carried out by private institutions, it is sparingly found in Government institutions, but no one has claimed a monopoly over it.
* Both, Government and Private educational institutions do not follow the same teaching system. This difference in the education system is another major concern.
* To be successful in capacity-building training, both the government and private institutions must hand in hand. Illustrating this clearly are the various initiatives of Indias National Skill Development Corporation.
* In South Asia, family is extremely burdened due to the high cost of living and inadequate government funding for education has cropped up a lot of differences. As a result of the economically affluent spending more towards obtaining high-quality education, it has created a greater disparity in opportunities.
* Government and private schools do not provide the same benefits and working conditions.
* Covid-19 has exposed the frailty of existing broken education systems in South Asian regions.
Furthermore details were covered in the UNESCO report with statistical facts.
