UNESCO is seeking expertise for the evaluation of an externally funded project titled “Rethinking Learning in a Complex World” (2014-18).
The project aims to strengthen UNESCO’s "observatory" function in education. It contributes to the global debate on foundational principles that can guide education policy and practice for the future by: (i) Providing policy-makers, educationists, and academics with insight into various facets of the future of education and learning; and (ii) Encouraging public policy dialogue on foundational principles for a humanistic approach to educational governance in the 21st century.
The contractor(s) will be responsible for evaluating project results in terms of outputs and outcomes and, to the extent possible, the impact/influence on the basis of the Results Assessment Framework. This includes three main lines of activities and four outputs:
- Think pieces and literature reviews to inform global debates on education and development through the Education Research and Foresight [ERF] Working Papers series [Output 1]
- Education policy dialogue on foundational principles for a humanistic approach to educational governance in the 21st century. This line of activity including the publication of a global report Rethinking Education: Towards a global common good? (2015) [Output 2] served as a platform for a series of national, sub-regional and global policy fora [Output 3].
- Foresight studies on the future of education and learning around thematic areas identified in the global 2015 Rethinking Education report [Output 4].
