Marking the U.S. release of the 2019 Global Education Monitoring (GEM) Report, this event convened by the Migration Policy Institute (MPI) and the GEM Report includes a presentation of the report that focuses mainly on migration and displacement in its continued assessment of progress towards Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG 4) on education, as well as other related education targets in the SDG agenda. This global study presents evidence on the implications of different types of migration and displacement for education and how reforming curricula, pedagogy, and teacher preparation can impact attitudes toward diversity. The report analyzes the challenges to effective humanitarian financing for education and makes the case for investing in the education of children whose parents migrate for work, in countries with high rates of emigration and those seeing high rates of immigration, and in short-term refugee emergencies and in protracted crises. It also offers recommendations that advance the aims of SDG 4. Drawing on the experience of the United States, the discussion looks at different ways education policymakers, teachers, and civil society have responded to the educational needs of migrants and how to address the legal, administrative, or linguistic barriers that sometimes inhibit children from participating meaningfully and equally in education programs. Speakers, including the 2018 teacher of the year Mandy Manning; RCUSA Director Mary Giovagnoli; Joan Lombardi; GEM Report's Priyadarshani Joshi; and MPI's Margie McHugh, highlighted the centrality of education for the process of inclusion and reflected on the capacity of education systems to serve children and youth from migrant backgrounds. The discussion also explores possible solutions, and offers fresh ideas on how to ensure that education addresses diversity in and outside the classroom.
