UNESCO 1974 Recommendation to measure progress towards the education target 4.7
Egyptology suffered a devastating blow at the 1974 UNESCO conference. Two African scholars were joined by 18 internationally renowned Egyptologists. In 11 categories of evidence,
they proved that the ancient Egyptians were Black. The historic international Cairo Symposium was held between January 28 and February 3, 1974.
It resolved the question "What race were ancient Egyptians?" Twenty of the most respected Egyptologists from around the globe were invited by the United Nations Educational,
Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), to discuss the race of the founders and leaders of ancient Egyptian civilization.
The vast majority of European Egyptologists believed that the ancient Egyptians were Caucasians or western Asiatics. Only two African scholars, Cheikhanta Diop, and Theophile Obenga,
believed that the Egyptians were black Africans. The other participants disagreed with the Diop–Obenga thesis. Diop presented specific evidence backed by a wealth of academic research.
C information to prove the dark origins of Kemet. The conference report clearly shows that Diop was the dominant figure in the proceedings.
Most participants changed their positions when confronted by his strong arguments. The conference report clearly shows that participants have abandoned western Asiatic and Caucasoid theories. The official UNESCO report concludes with Diop's triumph. SALUTE TO CHEIKH DIP AND THEOPHILE OBENGA.
at the 1974 UNESCO
UNESCO has released the results of the 6th Consultation regarding the implementation of the 1974 Recommendation Concerning Education for International Understanding, Co-operation, and Peace and Education relating Human Rights and Fundamental Freedom titled "Progress on Education for Sustainable Development and Education for Global Citizenship Education". This report summarizes the self-reported responses of 83 countries who participated in the 6th Consultation regarding the implementation of the 1974 Recommendation. It covers the period 2012 to 2016.
As endorsed in 2016 by the UNESCO Executive Board (199EX/Decisions 14. III), UNESCO uses its quadrennial report mechanism for the 1974 Recommendation, to collect data and report about indicator 4.7.1.
UNESCO updated the reporting guidelines and questionnaire for the 6th Consultation data collection to make them more compatible with the concepts of the global indicator Target 4.7, indicator 4.7.1. The report's structure focuses on the extent that the Guiding Principles of the 1974 Recommendation covering key topics Education for Sustainable Development Education and Global Citizenship Education are integrated into (a) national education policies (b) curricula (c) teacher education (d) student assessment.
The report's key finding is the insufficiency of teacher training programs on the Guiding Principles of the 1974 Recommendation.
The data from the 83 countries participating in the report shows that both pre-service, as well as in-service teacher training programs on the Guiding Principles, were not sufficient. Globally, 75% (61 countries) said that the Guiding Principles were "somewhat reflected in" pre-service teacher education. Africa has the highest rate (92%) and Asia and the Pacific have the highest rate (23%) of "not at any reflected".
UNESCO invites the Member States every four years to report on the progress made in implementing the 1974 Recommendation.
The 1974 Recommendation's principles are closely aligned with Target 4.7 of Sustainable Development Goal education.
Target 4.7 is about sustainable development and sustainable lifestyles. It also includes human rights and gender equality.
This four-year reporting process was recognized by the 199th Session UNESCO Executive Board as the primary source of data for tracking progress towards Target 4.7.
The deadline to submit country reports to UNESCO has been extended to 30 September 2016. The deadline for country reports to UNESCO is 30 September 2016. It is important to include all relevant information and data.
