Insights from the Global Education Monitoring report

Providing education to everyone without any discrimination or partiality has always been a concern for several government organizations and global institutes. Whether it’s the localized bodies or UNESCO, several organizations have proposed different plans to establish equality in education being offered to everyone, regardless of any demographic factor. However, due to the lack of proper analysis or reports, it became difficult to devise proper strategies or make alterations to the existing policies concerning education and the related aspects. This is where the GEM or Global Education Monitoring report comes into play!

Produced annually under the supervision of UNESCO, the GEM report tracks the progress in the global education system and addresses the challenges observed in reaching the goals or implementing any new policies. It also provides evidence-based arguments for the achievement of Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG 4) and the Education For All (EFA) plans. In other words, the GEM report is entitled to provide valuable insights into the progress of the education system and shed light on the challenges faced with proper statistics and facts. With this being said, we have compiled a detailed and inclusive guide on the insights obtained from the GEM report. 

Global progress in education

Increased enrolment rates

In the 1990s, developing nations recorded to have only 60% enrolment for primary education. However, with proper strategies and policy implementation, this rate has increased to 90% worldwide, proving that more children are now being enrolled in primary education institutions. Apart from this, enrolment in secondary education has also increased significantly, especially in low and medium-income sectors. This proves that the progress of the education system has been significant and more children can now access high-quality education with ease. 

Gender parity achievements

According to the Global Education Monitoring report, more girls are now being allowed to go to schools, even in countries like India, Pakistan, and others in the African and Asian continents. Hence, the global institutions have been able to achieve gender parity in terms of education since girls and boys can access the education system without facing any discrimination. 

Technological integration

Thanks to the integration of numerous advanced technologies, the learning outcomes have been significant and have improved a lot. For instance, the availability of online classes ensures everyone can receive quality education even if they can’t attend classroom sessions in person. Similarly, the use of videos and other forms of education help students to learn different complex concepts with ease. 

Persistent challenges

Quality of education

The Global Education Monitoring report addresses one of the major challenges related to the quality of education being offered to students in both developed and developing countries. For instance, the analytics proved that the existence of an outdated curriculum created major discrepancies in terms of knowledge and concept understanding among students. Similarly, the lack of a flexible education system also posed a challenge for students with disabilities or problems in attending schools physically. 

Equity and inclusion

The GEM report also addressed concerns regarding equity and inclusion by highlighting the marginalization of the education system for students with disabilities, conflicted-affected areas, and many more. In other words, the report brought about the lack of proper inclusion and equity policies that prevented special groups of students from accessing high-quality education properly without any problem. 

Impact of Covid-19

Also, Covid-19 has caused several disruptions in the education systems on a global platform, which have been recently addressed under the GEM report. From identifying the affected areas in countries where COVID-19 caused a major hit to assess the discrepancies in education received during the lockdowns, professionals were able to address the concerns raised during the pandemic and the ones that persisted later on. 

Regional disparities 

Sub-Saharan Africa

Most countries in the Sub-Saharan Africa suffer from regional disparities in terms of education. For instance, many children don’t go to schools due to the extremely long distances they have to cover. Ongoing conflicts in South Sudan and Central African Republic have also posed as a challenge to students from receiving proper education. The education quality and school infrastructure are below the general level, which proves the inequality amongst these countries. 

South Asia

Several regions in Southern Asia have also reported to have outdated and declining education infrastructure. For instance, in India, several communities still prevent their girls to attend schools due to their customs and beliefs. Similarly, the lack of trained teaching faculty and proper school setups have caused students to drop out from the schools or access high-quality education that is offered in urban regions. 

Developed VS Developing nations

There is a striking gap between the education quality and rules implemented for primary and secondary education levels in developed and developing countries. Out of every 100 children, 80 of them receive education in a guaranteed manner in developed countries. However, when it comes to developing nations, the number doesn’t cross the threshold of 50 in several regions. Besides, the infrastructure, modern education technologies, and availability of world-class systems are often restricted to developed nations. 

Financial aspects

Education funding

Several NGOs and government organizations have played actively in raising funding for the progress of education system and modernizing the infrastructure in affected regions. Apart from this, the World Bank, UNICEF, and several other international organizations have also contributed a lot in raising the funds needed to improve education quality and make it accessible for everyone.  

Aid to education

One of the major aspects that the Global Education Monitoring report has revealed is the declining aid to education at the international level. Whether it’s due to inflation rates or the crunch in funds, several international organizations have failed to provide the necessary funds needed to support a high-quality education system in drawback and conflict-affected regions. 

Policy recommendations

Inclusive policies

Policies for equity and inclusion will be needed at a global level so that education can be made accessible to all children, regardless of their background, financial conditions, demographics, and other factors. If these are not implemented on time, the disparity in education quality and levels in developing and developed nations will continue to increase significantly, thereby stalling overall growth and development. 

Teacher training

Teachers should receive proper training in terms of modern curriculum, technologies, and other such aspects so that they can form new strategies to teach students and handle different kinds of situations. Besides, if teachers receive proper training, the education quality in developing nations will also improve significantly. 

Data-driven decision making

Also, organizations should leverage the Global Education Monitoring report to gain valuable insights about the progress rate of the system, challenges encountered in different regions, and other such details. Having data in hand will help experts make proper strategies that would help in improving the education system and bridge the disparities, be it in terms of gender or regional aspects. 

Conclusion 

In this detailed article, we have explained how the Global Education Monitoring report has provided detailed insights into the overall education system and the challenges being faced to date. With proper data analysis, it will be easier to understand the gaps present in the education systems of developing and developed countries. Apart from this, professionals will be able to address issues like lack of education in conflicted regions, discrimination against girls and boys, and the lack of proper funding for the education system.

Chrysalis School is a hidden gem that is absolutely amazing. The experience started when we were driving through in search of school for our kids and saw this attractive newly built school.

Our interaction with school alumni assured us that our child will be in the best hands with the teachers and staff. The faculty and staff truly care about the students and are available around the clock to help with student needs.

Cheers!
Yaduveer Singh & Tanu Chaudhary

I started my journey at Chrysalis High in the third grade, and have been studying in the same till now and from all these years, I can say that Chrysalis High has the best staff and curriculum.

PUPA (Prior Understanding of Pupil Attributes) is a unique method used in Chrysalis High to understand a student’s learning ability, skills and emotions. They gain this knowledge from the parents and us in an effort to understand us better. The extracurricular activities, inter-school competitions, sports and cultural days organised help incorporate fun and games along with academics.

The student council and the elections for its positions familiarise a student with a sense of responsibility and teamwork. Studying at Chrysalis High has helped me grow to my full potential and has indeed trained me for the exam called life.

I would like to thank all the teachers and staff at Chrysalis High for making my learning experience the best.

Ms. Indrani Singh

Chief Vision Officer, Principal, Chrysalis High Marq & Head - Chrysalis Kids

Ms. Indrani Singh possesses a MSc and B.Ed degree to her credit. She has over 10 years of experience in the field of education and has climbed the rungs of leadership with her sheer dedication, hard work and love for her profession. She joined as the Head of Chrysalis Kids in 2013, which is a pre primary school of Chrysalis. Her out of box thinking and her ideology of doing the right thing for the children have helped her to pioneer new processes to make learning an enriching experience for the children. Across a period of seven years, Ms. Indrani Singh has become a flag bearer of Chrysalis vision, especially the PUPA (Prior Understanding of Pupil Attributes) Program. Indrani brought in the idea of Pre-CHAMPS to all Chrysalis schools. Known for her ideation & focus on quality, Indrani leaves no stone unturned to ensure children have a wonderful learning experience at Chrysalis. In 2017, she was made Associate Academic Director – Pre Primary & again promoted to Academic Director – Pre Primary, a role she handles along with the responsibilities of Chrysalis High, Marq. Under her supervision and guidance, many initiatives like Pre-CHAMPS, AwSTEM, Festival of learning were initiated and appreciated by all. Today she handles multitude of responsibilities from heading two schools to overseeing the Pre-Primary Curriculum Team of Chrysalis as the Academic Director. In addition to these profiles, she was recently promoted as Chief Vision Officer to propel PUPA, an initiative of Chrysalis, to greater heights. To this day, her ideas and her sheer determination to always try something different and new makes her a formidable and integral part of Chrysalis. With an unending pandemic looming over us, the future for education looked uncertain. But Ms. Indrani with her belief that learning should not stop for the children, ideated on the perfect balance of online and live class model to suit the learning styles of the children. The plan started with what best would suit the children and also help the working parents who were facing their own challenges and obstacles. The online model started with curriculum videos which the Chrysalis teachers recorded with the right guidance and methodology which was well defined by her. The live classes began with once a week class to slowly introduce the children to digital learning. With children adapting to live class, the sessions increased to add more to their knowledge. Teachers were sensitized about the challenges of live class and how to ensure that they do the right thing for the children and be an integral part in their learning given the circumstances. Providing the right support to parents and the challenges they faced, were also key elements of the whole digital teaching process. Providing individual support to the children was one way to ensure we partnered with parents to provide the right support to the children and ensure that the learning did not stop.

Working at Chrysalis High has been a wholesome experience for me. What stands out for me is the support I receive from the school management in standing by my vision and passion as a teacher.

It would not be an exaggeration in the slightest, if I said that I feel always supported by the principal, coordinator and staff in performing my duties to the best of my abilities. This makes me confident that I would be given room to grow as an educator. It feels great to be part of a group that takes meaningful steps towards turning our philosophy and values into action!”

The values we would love to instill in our students at Chrysalis High are strongly rooted in our hearts by our compassionate and efficient school heads and mentors and model them to our students.

The induction programme has been nothing short of immense learning and much-needed guidance to face all our challenges head-on and it has helped prepare ourselves for the year ahead.

At Chrysalis High, I find myself doing what I love to do, staying true to what I strongly believe in and above all I can see myself as a passionate learner with new opportunities to learn each and every day. To top it all, the love and support my students shower on me is an additional perk without which I cannot be the happy teacher that I am today.

Chrysalis High team integrates compassion into their teaching standards, emphasizes the importance of values and builds leaders through each of their classes and lessons. It allows for a lower student to teacher ratio. Online teaching during difficult times of Covid – 19 was indeed a huge challenge for all schools but the support provided by the school to transcend the challenge of teaching students by providing apt and timely training to teachers in online teaching methodology is commendable. This has been very useful to students as well as their parents. The teachers had worked hard in coming up with innovative methods of teaching to keep the students up breast with subjects with their enthusiasm intact.  It’s been a wonderful journey for me at Chrysalis High so far.  The entire team works in unison with one thought in mind – the betterment of the children.

My sincere thanks to Principal ma’am, Coordinators and last but not least my colleagues for the constant support and love.

Upasana Banerjee –
Primary Teacher

I am very happy studying at Chrysalis High Bannerghatta Road. I got admission during the lockdown period. The online classes were well organized and very interactive.

I gained a lot of knowledge during online classes, and the teachers understood us quickly and were there for us at all times. Even though we didn’t meet personally, the atmosphere at Chrysalis was always very warm and supportive. Even though online classes were new to everyone, our teachers were able to identify where we were lagging, and they provided Individual Support Classes (ISP).

The teachers are very interactive, friendly with us, and support us to come up with our own ideas. Practical explanation of the subject through STEaM is also one of the most exciting sessions in our school. The teachers also covered extracurricular activities and enrichment activities during the online classes. The warm welcome by the teachers to the offline classes made us more excited to attend school and a day at Chrysalis High with my friends and teachers is something that I eagerly look forward to every day.

Chrysalis High, is a great school which develops a good foundation for kids both academically and also in character building. Both the pre primary and now the primary school years for Samay, have been socially nurturing and academically challenging. Our son loves his school, he has come a long way from his nursery days till today, the 3rd grade.

Everyone at school, be it the Principal, Coordinators, teachers or the administrative staff, all have been really cooperative and supportive. Chrysalis also has one of the best parent – teacher relationship!

Overall, Chrysalis High, has been a wonderful experience for both Samay and us till date. We appreciate the great work and looking forward for more!

I have been in Chrysalis High BG Road since 2018. The teachers have laid a strong foundation, helped me improve on my basics in all subjects and played a major role in me evolving into the best version of myself. My school has given me many opportunities to develop my leadership skills and I will always feel grateful about that. I have made many friends in the last couple of years, thanks to the warm atmosphere at Chrysalis High. During online classes our school left no stone unturned and even though our classes were online, they ensured we learnt with the same enthusiasm.

My Voyage at Chrysalis High Marq has been spectacular and overwhelming. The school has positive vibes that makes it a beautiful shelter for not only students but also for the teachers. Here at Chrysalis we are motivated to nurture the young minds in the best possible way.

I learnt number of years of work experience is not that counts, what is more important is the quality one possesses through their learning experience. I thoroughly enjoy teaching and unfaltering curiosity.

Chrysalis High is an impressive organization that makes educators feel supported and equipped. I ’am proud to be a part of this institution that strive to take eloquent steps to transform our care philosophy and values into effective action.

I feel privileged to be an integral part of such a proficient and progressive workforce. Chrysalis oozes integrity and excellence that is t=refreshing and essential in our daily duties.

Chrysalis exemplifies what it means to be an organization that is “To help our children excel by understanding them, guiding them on the right path and strengthening their self belief.”

I enjoy working at Chrysalis High because this is a place where high energy meets absolute dedication.As a teacher, each day is a new day for me and I fully value the myriad opportunities that enhance my experience.

I also appreciate the unique working atmosphere and  the collaborative culture  that allows me to grow not only as a professional, but also as a person.

The school provides me with a lot of scope to interact with children and their parents, and this gives me an opportunity  to gain deeper insights into ways to help each of them achieve their academic goals.

The school’s vision for children is a guiding principle for all of us. It is indeed a pleasure to work with my immediate superiors who are both-understanding and supportive in all aspects. Together, I am certain that we will have a mutually enriching and exciting academic year ahead.

Chrysalis High Marq has paved new roads of possibilities of learning and fruitful experiences for both teachers such as myself and the students.

The things that are most satisfying for me are the never ending opportunities to learn, perform out of the comfort zone and most importantly the endless love that I receive from the children. Life is a continuous learning process and Chrysalis High Marq has made it possible by giving me many opportunities to be creative in the way I work. The whole team works as a family by supporting and helping each other at any given point of time .

The motivation, appreciation, support and positivity received by us is in turn passed on to our students. The school believes in the holistic development of all its children and takes all the necessary measures to nurture the young minds in a fruitful way. I am extremely proud to be a part of the Chrysalis High Marq family.

In the field of Construction, they say- “ A well-designed and strong foundation keeps the building standing while the forces of nature wreak havoc.” The same purpose that a foundation serves for a building, schooling does for our children- ensures they are wholly prepared for the journey called Life!

Having worked for a few schools in the past, I was aware of the paramount role a school plays in the initial nurturing of a child. While joining Chrysalis, I expected a similar school environment as in my past, but to my astonishment, things were incredibly better. While the academics here are indeed exceptional, even better is the focus on the character development of each child. Teachers know their Children really well, beyond just recalling the child’s name; all thanks to initiatives like PUPA. The teachers nurture children in a way that is not just caring and loving but also instills in them qualities like compassion, collaboration, empathy and many more from an early age. Children are also encouraged in a way that they constantly thrive to develop confidence in their own unique abilities.

Well, what we reap is what we sow; and not just the teachers but the whole team in Chrysalis believes in this fact. We work together tirelessly because we know we are nurturing kids to form a responsible and noble generation for the future!

I have been a student at Chrysalis High Marq for two school years and from what I have experienced, I can tell you it is a great school. The staff is excellent and the rules help keep the school safe and in order.

There is an equal balance of learning and reviewing the information. There are enrichment activity classes as well to where we have life skill and ink well sessions that help in the refinement and polishing of the mind. Chrysalis has initiated many activities for students. We have engrossing and fun-filled Indoor Champs, Performing Arts classes, Buddy interaction time etc. The teachers in Chrysalis are hardworking and determined . I am so proud and lucky to go to Chrysalis!
