40 C/VR.10 Unedited Tenth Plenary Meeting of the 40Th Session of The 40 C/VR.10 Unedited Tenth plenary meeting of the 40th session of the General Conference Monday 18 November 2019 at 10.15 a.m. President: Mr Altay Cengizer (Turkey) General policy debate (continued) 1.1 The President: Good morning ladies and gentlemen, I declare open the tenth plenary meeting of the General Conference. This morning, we will hear the remaining statements, and thus conclude the general policy debate. Following our last speaker, I will invite the Director-General to deliver her reply to the rich debate, which we have had and are still having over the past week. 1.2 Before I go further, I would like to say that while the distinguished delegate of Afghanistan, Ambassador Sediqi, was speaking he received news of yet another attack in Kabul with 12 dead including three children. But being the thoughtful person that he is, he did not say this to the General Conference so as not to demoralize anyone. At the same time, he also received the news of the passing away of a former Minister of Education of Afghanistan. I found myself duty-bound to share what he did not thoughtfully share with you. Of course, he was very sad to learn of the terrorist attack in Afghanistan. 1.3 Before we start with our list of speakers, I am glad to inform the General Conference that Kiribati and Yemen now have voting rights for the rest of the session. I also wish to remind distinguished delegates that each national statement will be limited to six minutes. Representatives of intergovernmental organizations will have three minutes to address the Conference. I thank you in advance for respecting this necessary time limit. I also wish to invite distinguished delegates to regulate their speaking speed so that we are better able to understand your speech. This will help greatly to facilitate the work of our interpreters. I now have the honour to call on our first speaker this morning, His Excellency Mr Patrick Jason Faber, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Education of Belize. 2.1 Belize: Mr President of the General Conference, please allow me as well to salute the Vice-President of the General Conference, my sister from CARICOM, the Honourable Olivia Grange. Madam Director-General, Excellencies and Honourable Ministers of Government, delegates and other distinguished persons, ladies and gentlemen, I bring you warm greetings from our beautiful jewel in the Caribbean and Central America. It is my distinct honour to share these remarks on behalf of the Government and people of Belize at a time of significant global challenges which require consensus building towards peace and global prosperity, the very fundamentals of the United Nations and UNESCO. 2.2 It is therefore fitting that we recommit to working with a cooperative and earnest spirit to tackle global challenges such as the climate crisis which impacts our Belize barrier reef system, a UNESCO world heritage site. We recommit to supporting the implementation of international laws and practices which respect the human rights of all global citizens, embraces diversity and affords security and prosperity for all humankind. We remain committed to supporting our youth, and recognizing their role in shaping the global agenda for peace. For as long as there is no other unifying system, UNESCO’s role will continue to be important and Belize retains its operating principles. We do so with profound gratitude for UNESCO’s unwavering support of Belize, especially in education, culture and natural heritage sectors. 2.3 On this occasion, I offer congratulations to UNESCO and all Member States on the adoption of the new UNESCO Strategy for Youth and Adult Literacy (2020-2025). It is aligned to SDG 4 which speaks to the need to ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all. Literacy, my friends, is perhaps the most important skill set for the development of the person, community, and nation. Belize’s development plan “Horizon 2030” identifies two pivotal areas impacting our development: the importance of productivity, competitiveness and skills upgrading to overall improvements to well-being in Belize and the need to address educational disparities that have affected the ability of the government and the private sector to reach its maximum efficiency. Both provide mandates for education. As such, Belize continues to invest heavily in education by allocating more than 25% of the recurrent budget and in doing so we have three core policy objectives: firstly to increase equitable access to all levels of education; secondly to improve the quality and relevance of education at all levels; and thirdly, to strengthen governance throughout the sector with emphasis on increased accountability for student achievement. 2.4 These strategic objectives are perfectly aligned with SDG 4 which calls on nations around the world to ensure inclusive and quality education for all and to promote lifelong learning. Our efforts are paying off my friends. Belize’s most recent evaluation of its sector strategy performance showed that access to all levels of education has increased, from pre- primary to tertiary levels, and including technical and vocational education. We are not where we want to be as yet, so there is more to be done. Average repetition rates and drop-out rates have decreased at all levels; but there are further reductions to be realized. The transition rate from primary to secondary school has improved especially for children in the lowest wealth quintile, thanks to the Government of Belize’s poverty reduction strategies which included high school support for the neediest children. The high school completion rates and performance on secondary-school examinations have improved with a performance bonus for schools based on achievement using key quality indicators. You will find that we invest substantially in young people, recognizing their role in the development of Belize and their role in shaping the global agenda for peace. 2.5 Belize joins others in welcoming the adoption of the Global Convention on the Recognition of Higher Education Qualifications , this being the world’s first international agreement in higher education. In part, it will help people from all over the world to have their qualifications more readily recognized. Technology will play an increased role in our global communications, inclusion and connectivity. Recognizing this, Belize’s ICT strategy in education among other things, calls for the use of technology in promoting literacy and numeracy. The Government of Belize through the Ministry of Education 40 C/VR.10 Unedited – page 2 is implementing its ICT in education strategy, which seeks to transform education in Belize and forms a crucial part of the new sector strategy that will expand STEM education on inclusion of the arts. 2.6 Our current curriculum work is focused on ensuring that the curriculum is consistent with the work for sustainable development and that it fosters the development of twenty-first century skills. We appreciate every support that we get. The record will show that even as we look to learn from others, we also try to provide inspiration and leadership globally. My beautiful Belize provides for the world a rich natural heritage site, in the form of the Barrier Reef, an exquisite coral reef ecosystem – a gift to the world. We work assiduously towards preserving it by minimizing local stresses caused by damaging practices such as offshore drilling. Belizeans’ propensity for sustainability is a direct result of education and deep appreciation of our roles as good stewards of our environment, its resources and this planet. 2.7 In the face of challenges which have emerged as a result of our global systems we look to lessons from the rich cultural tapestry we have woven in our little corner of the globe. We have learned that humanity stands strongest in the embrace of our diversity. It stands strongest when we can lift up and celebrate that which unites us as well as that which makes us unique and diverse. On this the eve of the celebration of the arrival of the Garifuna people to Belize – a distinguished people whose culture in 2001 was recognized by UNESCO as a masterpiece of the oral and intangible heritage of humanity, let us take a page from their book. Educate the youth, recognizing the role they will play in keeping peace and uplift that which brings out the best in our humanity. Belize therefore invests in its youth, it preserves its partnerships and seeks to cultivate new ones where values align. Our membership as a part of the Caribbean community has been important to us, as has our full participation in the Central American Integration System (SICA). Mr President, we reaffirm our commitment to working through UNESCO to strive for lasting global peace and appreciate the efforts of fellow Member States in doing the same. Thank you. 3. The President: Thank you your Excellency. I invite His Excellency Mr Chingiz Aidarbekov, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Kyrgyzstan. 4.1 Kyrgyzstan : Good Morning. Mr President of the General Conference, Madam Director-General, Excellencies, ladies and gentlemen, first of all on behalf of the Kyrgyzstan delegation, I would like to extend our warm congratulations to Mr Altay Cengizer on being elected the President of the 40th session of the UNESCO General Conference. We believe that the work of the Conference will be very successful and fruitful. 4.2 UNESCO plays a special role in the United Nations system. Today, humanity is facing truly global challenges that pose a threat to unique cultures and traditions, landscapes and ecosystems as well as cultural and biological diversity. UNESCO’s mandate facilitates the Member States’ contribution to achieving the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals.

These include the activities of extremist groups, often aimed directly at world heritage, culture and people active in culture. For this reason, UNESCO’s activities are of more significance than ever before. The international community should unremittingly continue to promote the values that underpinned the Organization’s foundation, and continue to motivate its actions. UNESCO was founded 70 years ago, after the tragic experiences of World War II.

  • The Cold War Politicization of Literacy: Communism, UNESCO, and the World Bank*
    charles dorn and kristen ghodsee The Cold War Politicization of Literacy: Communism, UNESCO, and the World Bank* In 1947, officials at the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) announced the establishment of an unprecedented, worldwide literacy program entitled “Fundamental Education.”1 Responding to a new and growing international concern about the poverty and economic well-being of people around the world, UNESCO member states promoted Fundamental Education as a necessary precondition for the maintenance of international peace and the growth of economic prosperity in the postwar era.2 Simultaneously, however, officials at the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (a UN specialized agency more commonly referred to as the World Bank) refused to support educational programming, arguing that education-related projects, including the rebuilding of schools, could not guar- antee a return on the bank’s investment. Indeed, from the end of World War II until 1962, while UNESCO stressed the importance of education as a mecha- nism for social, political, and economic development, the World Bank did not lend to a single dollar to education-related projects.3 In 1962, World Bank lending policies began to shift. Bank officials issued loans, first to programs involving secondary education and then, beginning in 1970, to projects supporting the improvement and expansion of primary education. As a result, World Bank lending for primary education increased from zero to 14 percent between 1963 and 1978 and overall bank spending on education rose dramatically. During this same period, however, critics *The authors would like to thank the late Elisabeth Hansot, Will Holland, Ginny Hopcroft, Pedro Noguera, Scott Sehon, David Stark, David Tyack, and two anonymous reviewers at Diplomatic History for their comments on the manuscript.

  • THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY of AMERICA the Theological Justification for the Establishment of the Pontifical Commission for Justice
    THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF AMERICA The Theological Justification for the Establishment of the Pontifical Commission for Justice and Peace ( Iustitia et pax) A DISSERTATION Submitted to the Faculty of the School of Theology and Religious Studies Of The Catholic University of America In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree Doctor of Sacred Theology © Copyright All Rights Reserved By Andrew Small Washington, D.C. 2010 The Theological Justification for the Establishment of the Pontifical Commission for Justice and Peace ( Iustitia et pax) Rev. Andrew Small, OMI, LL.M., S.T.D. Director: Rev. Brian V. Johnstone, C.SS.R., S.T.D. A central tenet of the aggiornamento undertaken by the Second Vatican Council was the Church’s role in and relationship to the modern world. Pope John XXIII’s call for a “pastoral” Council reached a new level of intensity in the Council’s debates on the Pastoral Constitution on the Church in the Modern World, Gaudium et spes . As if to acknowledge the inchoate nature of the Church’s new vision for its role in the world, the Pastoral Constitution mandated creation of a new organism of the universal Church that would extend reflection and action on the Church’s social engagement beyond the Council. This mandate, contained in article 90 of Gaudium et spes would become the Pontifical Commission for Justice and Peace. This dissertation examines the history and theological foundations of the process leading to this decision, focusing on the development of the theology of the Church’s relationship with the world during the Council itself and the immediate aftermath.
