“La educación en el contexto de las crisis humanitarias no es una opción superflua. En medio de la destrucción y el desarraigo que generan los conflictos mundiales, la educación proporciona esperanza a los niños y jóvenes refugiados, para que puedan concebir y construir un futuro seguro”. António Guterres
Alto Comisionado de las Naciones Unidas para los Refugiados (ACNUR)

• Five leadership priorities for 2017

Firstly, they will have to come to grips with the Fourth Industrial Revolution, which is redefining entire industries, and creating new ones from scratch, owing to groundbreaking advances in artificial intelligence, robotics, the Internet of Things, self-driving vehicles, 3D-printing, nanotechnology, biotechnology, and quantum computing.

These technologies have only begun to show their full potential; in 2017, we will increasingly see what used to be science fiction become reality. But, while the Fourth Industrial Revolution could help us solve some of our most pressing problems, it is also dividing societies into those who embrace change and those who do not. And that threatens our wellbeing in ways that will have to be identified and addressed.

• ECLAC Education

From the outset, ECLAC has seen education as a vital link in reconciling growth, equity and participation in society. Education has become particularly relevant in recent years since, as a central pillar of the equality paradigm, it is both a way of reducing obstacles to the full exercise of the right to education and a cornerstone of processes of structural change based on capacity-building from the bottom up. The work of the Social Development Division therefore includes conducting research and building knowledge in this area.
