Welcome to the United Nations
United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO)
An educated population is key to transforming economies, building inclusive and peaceful societies, and ensuring the lasting protection of the planet and its natural resources. That is, to bringing about the ultimate goals of Agenda 2030. As research highlights, the more skilled a country’s population is, the greater is its capacity to understand and process new information; to absorb, adapt and catalyse the technological advances that drive sustained long-term development; and to be receptive to environmental and social challenges and seize green-growth opportunities.
Improvements in quality of teaching is a complex process, which will take time and substantial human and financial resources. Its urgency calls for loosing no time.
The event will gather practical experiences from public institutions and private stakeholders on ways to improve students’ learning and prepare them to enter labour markets profitably so as to participate actively in the transformation of economies and societies.
Questions such as how development of entrepreneurial learning in schools contribute to broaden students’ perspective on how economies work and abilities to set their own goals and combine technical and social skills; or, how modern digital technology can potentially help in building youth’s learning abilities and enhance quality of teaching; and how the private sector can engage with governments to educate a skilled workforce and develop educational technologies, will be addressed.
