• OVERVIEW OF THE FUNCTIONS OF THE POST
• BACKGROUND AND RATIONALE
• The main purpose of this assignment is to develop the thematic background paper and policy brief on equity and inclusion in education which summarizes global and regional trends as well as highlights existing and emerging issues, challenges, needs and opportunities post-COVID-19 as well as recommendations based on lessons learnt on how to build back equal. The consultant is expected to prepare the background paper on equity and inclusion in education, including persons with disabilities, indigenous peoples, and children in vulnerable situations for the 2nd Asia-Pacific Regional Education Ministerial Conference (APREMC-II).
• Under the commitment to ensure 'inclusive and equitable quality education' and promote 'lifelong learning for all' as part of the United Nations (UN) 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG 4), the Asia-Pacific region has made a significant progress in terms of both access and quality of education. However, millions of children from disadvantaged groups are kept out or pushed out of education systems through decisions leading to exclusion from curricula, irrelevant learning objectives, stereotyping in textbooks, discrimination in resource allocation and assessments, tolerance of violence and neglect of needs. In addition, the prolonged school closure during the COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated the pre-existing inequalities and stalled global progress to meet the promise of 'leave no one behind'.
• With the building back better framework, education recovery and reform should focus on creating learning environment which not only takes into consideration but takes advantage of diversity among students which will lead to positive impact on student performance. Within this context, the 2nd Asia-Pacific Regional Education Ministers' Conference (APREMC-II) will be organized to review and take stock of the first 6 years of progress towards SDG 4 - Education 2030 in Asia and the Pacific; identify challenges in progressing towards SDG 4 in the region, including the impact of COVID-19 and the COVID-19 response and priority areas of action; and discuss and agree on a regional strategy and roadmap to accelerate progress during the next years, with a focus on sustainable post-COVID-19 education recovery and educational reform.
