[UNESCO's Response to HIV and AIDS] UNESCO' s new publication: Charting the Course of Education and HIV
Dear Colleagues,
UNESCO has released a new publication
Charting the Course of Education and HIV, which is part of its Education on the Move
series. The series focuses on key trends in education today and
challenges for tomorrow. The series seeks to bring research knowledge
produced by various
academic disciplines and within various organizations to those who can
shape educational policies and drive reforms. As such, it also intends
to contribute to on-going reflections on the international education
agenda.
More
than
three decades after the identification of the virus, HIV continues to
affect millions of people worldwide even though infection rates are down
in a number of countries. From the beginning, the education sector has
played a central role in responding to
HIV. However, its role and the contribution of school-based HIV
education has been the subject of much debate. This book provides an
overview of how the role of the education sector and approaches to HIV
education have evolved over time. Building on the findings
of recent research and regional studies, it examines lessons learned,
emerging challenges and opportunities, and proposes a way forward for
the education sector to contribute to the prevention of new infections,
treatment and care, and the reduction of stigma
and discrimination.
For hard copies of the publication please visit the
UNESCO Bookshop. For additional information please contact

Best wishes,
