Education, privatisation and social justice
Organizational challenges to international cooperation for literacy in Unesco
The absolute priority given by UNESCO to the promotion of universal literacy is understood as a key policy driver shaping the Organization since its inception in 1946. Grounded in human rights, the commitment has taken concrete form in many and diverse ways, but it is as a shaper of ideas that UNESCO’s overall contribution is best judged. In particular, the Organization has persisted in its dual approach to universal literacy through both univers…
Education and Muslim Identity
The French republican principles upon which public education is based include strict separation of religion from schooling. At the same time, public funds subsidise a large number of private schools, over 90% Catholic. Virtually no recognition or public support is provided for Muslim or Jewish schools, nor is there any public or group demand that it do so. This article examines the complex and changing context in which Muslim identity has evolved…
Literacy practices and literacy policies
Challenges and Dilemmas
For forty years UNESCO has been engaged in the promotion of education, considered to be a fundamental human right. The right to read and write are inscribed in numerous international charters, and the international community officially supports these rights. How is it that in 1990 there are at least 965 million adults on our planet who are illiterate and more than 130 million children of school age who have never been to school at all? Why is it …

Economic Recession and Migrant/Minority Youth in Western Europe and the United States
This paper considers the educational opportunities and employment futures of the children of migrants and minorities in Western Europe and the US beyond the lowest-paid and lowest-valued jobs currently held by their parents. Given that the economic recession has aggravated unemployment in the countries of origin of workers migrating to both Northern Europe and the US, it seems likely that workers will still want to go abroad. On the other hand, t…
Adult literacy policy and provision in an age of austerity
Policy Aspects of Educational Provision for Children of Migrants in Western European Schools
Young Migrants of the Second Generation in Europe
This paper compares the situation of second generation migrants in employing European nations with first generation migrants in the countries of origin. The study focuses on intergenerational changes in employment, unemployment, and further migration. High rates of failure, underachievement, and non-attendance are often found among migrant school children. Girls and boys show high occupational aspirations from age 10-14, but more realistic aspira…
