Health & Life Skills Education: Ignored & Poorly Understood by Policy-Makers, Researchers and Donors
The Covid 19 pandemic has exposed three essential risks among people in most countries. The lack of skill in hand-washing and other hygiene behaviours, the low literacy levels about vaccines causes hesitancy and refusing masks because we don’t realize that our own health is intertwined with the health of others has multiplied the damages and death caused by this pandemic. A mandatory health & life skills education curriculum can fix this problem among children in time for the next pandemic as well as reduce the impact of several other diseases. UN agencies are monitoring student learning for the 2030 Goals in almost every core subject except health and life skills (H&LS) which they have deliberately excluded from the list under Target 4.7. Researchers study education about many specific topics but rarely about the curricula that delivers that instruction. Donors fund projects on bits and pieces but few seek to build capacities such as instructional time, training primary and secondary HLS specialists or efficient curriculum design for H&LS or personal-social & health (PSH) education. Almost no country or global organization reports on the status and reach of H&LS/PSH curricula This open meeting of the FRESH Partners review a detailed memo on the UN agency decisions to exclude H&LS/PSH curricula from the monitoring of the UN 2030 goals. A petition/letter campaign will be discussed. We will also review questions from a Fact-Finding Survey & Policy/Curriculum Analysis of all countries and states being undertaken by several FRESH Partners to fill the gap left by the UN Technical Cooperation Group. Research questions to be investigated by a research network of the World Education Research Association as recommended by the FRESH Working Group on Health Literacy, Life Skills and Social Inclusion will be introduced. |

Launch of survey on national education responses to COVID-19
As part of the coordinated global education response to the COVID-19 pandemic, UNESCO, UNICEF, and the World Bank have collaborated with OECD for the third round of the survey designed for ministries of education to better understand their responses to school closures and subsequent re-openings at the inception of 2021. The survey aims to generate inputs to better understand the impact of COVID-19 on various aspects related to the education systems, as well as the policies implemented to assess and remediate them, including strategies to ensure equity and safe reopening of schools for all. |

International conference on school bullying
Bullying in schools deprives millions of children and young people of the fundamental right to education. A recent UNESCO report reveals that more than 30% of the world's students have been victims of bullying, with devastating consequences on academic achievement, school drop out, and physical and mental health. The confinement imposed as part of the COVID-19 pandemic have resulted in an unprecedented increase in screen time by children and adolescents, and likely exacerbated the issue. |
