Debunking myths about inclusive education with Kamila Rollan, an educator and a consultant on accessibility and inclusion from Kazakhstan. Discover what inclusion in education truly means! As we launch the 2025 Central and Eastern Europe, the Caucasus, and Central Asia regional GEM Report UNESCO, it is time to rethink our approach to inclusion. Inclusion is not just about special needs, it is about ensuring every learner has access to education. Some countries in the region still see inclusion narrowly, but others, like the Republic of Moldova, are leading the way, addressing barriers related to language, ethnicity, gender, and economic status. But policies alone are not enough. Real inclusion starts with strong leadership. School leaders play a pivotal role in creating inclusive environments, supporting teachers, and challenging biases. When inclusion is done right, diversity becomes a strength, not a challenge. ➡️ Explore more insights and recommendations: https://bit.ly/2025eurasia #LeadforLearning #LeadforInclusion #GEMReport #UNESCO

On the International Day of Mathematics, let's talk about maths anxiety. Mathematics is key to #STEM careers, yet maths anxiety disproportionately affects girls, limiting their confidence and career choices. According to the #2024GenderReport, 1 in 5 people feel anxious about maths, with girls experiencing higher anxiety than boys. The 2022 PISA survey revealed that gender gaps in maths anxiety are significant, with Denmark, France, Germany, and Norway showing the largest gaps. In contrast, countries like Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and Cambodia showed no gender gap. Maths anxiety has real consequences: it affects girls' scores and influences their subject choices, leading to fewer #WomenInSTEM. According to UNESCO Institute for Statistics, from 2018 to 2023, women made up only 35% of STEM graduates globally, a statistic unchanged for a decade. Gender stereotypes and social identities play a crucial role. Studies indicate that when girls believe boys are better at maths, their performance declines. Teacher and textbook biases also contribute, impacting girls' self-efficacy and academic choices. To address this, we must engage parents, train teachers, and review teaching materials. By proactively supporting girls in maths, we can help them overcome anxiety and unlock their full potential in STEM. ➡️ Discover more in the #WorldEducationBlog by Anna Cristina d'Addio, PhD, #GEMReport: https://bit.ly/3XRxDJ3 #UIS_UNESCO
