PLEASE JOIN THE ONLINE CONSULTATION FOR THE 2020 GEM REPORT: INCLUSION AND EDUCATION
2020 GEM Cover image
Following GEM reports on education and the other SDGs (2016), accountability (2017/8), and migration and displacement (2019), the 2020 GEM Report will focus on inclusion.

Echoing the overall orientation in the SDGs to “leave no one behind”, this year's Report will take an in-depth look at inclusion and education, showing the barriers faced by the most vulnerable, with a particular focus on people with disabilities. By analysing policies the world over, it will present evidence on the different elements of education systems that can support inclusion, such as laws and policies, governance and finance, curricular and learning materials, teachers, school infrastructure, school selection and parental and community views. A range of indicators will be examined for their effectiveness in measuring inclusion in education as well.
 
As with every year, we invite you to take part in our online consultation over the next eight weeks, including suggestions on relevant literature, data analysis and case studies. The views of researchers, academics, governments, non-governmental organizations, aid donors, teachers, youth and anyone with an interest in education and development are most welcome.
Please read the concept note and contribute to this online consultation before 28 September 2018.

Do you have experience teaching refugees? Have you been trained to deal with the diverse, multi-lingual/cultural needs that this group may face? Are you a refugee student? What challenges and initiatives have hindered or helped you gain access to education?

On June 20 (World Refugee Day), the GEM Report launched a call for refugee students and their teachers to share their stories and photos about education.

We are interested in featuring the stories collected in our next report on migration, displacement and education due out 20 November, 2018.

What does the final draft of the Global Compact for Migration say about education?
This blog analyses the final text of the Global Compact, showing that the word education appears 15 times in the 34-page document, appearing in relation to no fewer than 10 of the Compact’s 23 objectives. It shows that the 2019 GEM Report will help create an even stronger link between the Compact and the SDG4 priorities, and bring clarity for countries now tasked with turning the promises into policy.
