联合国教科文组织发布《2026年全球教育监测报告》性别专题报告,评估全球教育领域性别平等进展及剩余挑战。
中新网巴黎10月9日电 在10月11日国际女童日即将到来之际,联合国教科文组织8日发布新报告指出,童婚和早孕仍威胁着女童教育所取得的进展。
教科文组织发布的《2026年全球教育监测报告》性别专题报告称,尽管全球教育领域的性别差距有所缩小,18岁前结婚的女童比例也有所下降,但在一些地区,生育后重返校园的女童寥寥无几。这凸显终结童婚、预防早孕及保障年轻母亲继续受教育权的重要性。
联合国教科文组织总干事阿纳尼表示,过去几十年来,全球教育性别平等取得了重大进展。如今,从学前教育到中等教育各阶段,男女童入学人数持平。然而,仍有大量女童在入学、完成学业及在校充分发展过程中面临障碍。性别平等是教科文组织的全球优先事项之一。我们正与世界各国政府及合作伙伴携手行动,保护女童受教育权,为所有人创造更多机会。
报告指出,世界各国在教育领域性别平等方面取得显著进展。1990-2024年,尼泊尔初中教育完成率男女差距缩小了33个百分点;2006-2022年,沙特高等教育入学率的性别差距缩小四分之三;柬埔寨女童小学教育完成率在1981年低于男童22个百分点,到2024年则反超11个百分点;哥斯达黎加高中教育完成率女童高于男童,这一性别差距从2011—2017年的12个百分点缩小至2018—2024年的7个百分点。
然而,平均数据掩盖了农村地区和贫困家庭中存在的性别差距。在安哥拉,最富裕家庭的子女已实现教育性别平等,但在最贫困家庭中,完成高中教育的女童人数仅为男童的30%。在印度,城市地区已实现性别平等,但农村地区完成高中教育的女童人数仅为男童的59%。
报告显示,尽管全球从学前教育到高中教育各阶段的入学人数均已实现性别均等,但早婚早育仍是女童完成学业的主要障碍。全球18岁前结婚的女童比例从2000年的25%降至2025年的18%,但这一比例在中亚和南亚仍达25%,撒哈拉以南非洲则高达31%。据估计,2024年,撒哈拉以南非洲有600万名10-19岁的早孕少女和年轻母亲失学,而该地区怀孕或在育儿的女童中,重返校园的比例不足5%。
一些国家已携手教科文组织采取措施,推动充分实现怀孕和育儿女童的受教育权。例如非洲多国已取消禁止已婚、怀孕或育儿女童和妇女接受教育的规定。最新数据显示,90%接受调查的东部和南部非洲国家已实施相关政策,支持怀孕和育儿青少年继续学业或重返校园。
教科文组织数据显示,截至2026年,在各国法律框架对受教育权的保护方面,58%的国家禁止基于生理性别或社会性别的歧视,但只有35%的国家明确规定保护怀孕和育儿女童。
教科文组织积极支持各国促进教育领域的性别平等。通过“我们的权利,我们的生活,我们的未来”项目,教科文组织与35国教育部合作,帮助数百万年轻人为自己的人生和未来作出决定。(完)

Lou Yulie, a master of Chinese traditional studies and professor of philosophy at Peking University, died of illness in Beijing in the early morning of October 9 at the age of 92. He has been teaching for 66 years and has devoted his life to the teaching, research and promotion of the history of Chinese philosophy, Buddhist philosophy and traditional Chinese culture.

French high school students have launched large-scale protests and campus blockades since late September to protest against teacher shortages, dilapidated facilities and admissions system problems. Although spending on education is higher than the EU average, the movement turned violent and demonstrated strong political pressure, influenced by France's tradition of street protests.

It is reported on the Internet that a doctor converted his Chinese diploma into an American degree to pass the National Medical Examination in Taiwan and practice medicine. The Examinations and Selection Department responded that foreign medical qualifications must be submitted for review of actual attendance data, and will investigate in detail if reports are received. The Ministry of Education also emphasized that Chinese medical qualifications will not be recognized.

Singapore mothers face mounting pressure over private tuition for young children, reflecting wider tensions across Asia regarding academic stress and educational inequality.

A male teacher at the Department of Medicine at Yang-Ming Jiaotong University was accused of being involved in a sexual harassment incident. The school stated that the teacher only took up the post last year. The Sexual Education Committee completed the investigation last year and took necessary measures. However, due to recent online posts, it has preventively suspended his one-on-one tutor position and continues to monitor whether there are other complaints.

French teenage students launched a new wave of demonstrations in many cities across the country on the 8th to protest against the poor educational environment in schools. Some high school students blocked campuses and marched. Violence broke out during the demonstrations, with the Bordeaux police station set on fire, the Saint-Etienne school vandalized, and a teacher in Toulouse attacked. The Ministry of the Interior confirmed that 71,500 people participated in demonstrations across the country, including 24,500 at Place de la Bastille in Paris. Demonstrators demand more teachers and better school facilities, but critics say the movement is infiltrated by far-left and anarchist elements. Marseille High School teacher Du Xiuluo participated in the demonstration and said that the class was crowded with 37 people and that he had to borrow desks and chairs from neighboring classrooms to attend class.
