New dossier on pro-Palestinian protests at universities worldwide
![Pro-Palästina-Proteste an der University of Chicago (USA), Mai 2024 (Click to view the image) Pro-Palästina-Proteste an der University of Chicago (USA), Mai 2024. Plakat mit der englischen Aufschrift:](https://www.bildungsserver.de/images/wabisabi2015_CCbysand20_UniChicagoProPalestineProtests2024.jpg)
Emotions are running high at universities around the world. Some people feel reminded of the student protests of the 1960s/70s against the Vietnam War. The current student protests and campus occupations take place against the background of the Israeli military operations in the Gaza Strip, which in turn were triggered by the attack on Israel by the Palestinian terrorist organisation Hamas on 7 October 2023.
You can find out what the students are criticising and what demands they are making of their universities in our new dossier. It also offers an international press review of the demonstrations taking place at universities around the world, as well as statements from academic societies and other organisations in the field of education.
Lehrermangel nicht nur in Deutschland

A new UNESCO report shows that the shortage of teachers is a problem not only in Germany, but worldwide. New data suggests that 44 million additional teachers will be needed to achieve universal primary and secondary education for all children by 2030. This is one of the demands of Goal 4 "Quality Education" of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations. From an international perspective, the UNESCO report provides answers to questions such as: "Where is the teacher shortage greatest?", "Why is there so much teacher shortage worldwide?" or "How can the teacher shortage be solved?"

![(Click to view the image) Details eines Wandgraffitis mit der Inschrift:](https://www.bildungsserver.de/images/id-iom_HumansAreFascinating_CCbync20.jpg)
Not only in Germany, but worldwide, the publication of the chatbot "ChatGPT" has sparked a debate about artificial intelligence.
You can find out on how this debate is being conducted internationally in the education sector in our dossier. We offer you freely accessible overview literature & systematic reviews, as well as reports, guidelines, frameworks, organisations & networks and projects. You will also find information on AI and education in various countries & regions as well as articles on AI tools in education.

Due to current events we would like to remind you of our two web dossiers on education in Israel and Palestine.
New webdossier: Cyber attacks on education - a worldwide problem
![(Click to view the image) Ein Laptop mit ganz vielen Zahlen und einem Schlosssymbol.](https://www.bildungsserver.de/images/Blogtrepeneur_DataSecurity_CC_by_20.jpg)
We admit that the topic of our new dossier is not a very festive one given that Christmas is coming soon. But it is a topic that has directly concerned us at the DBS and DIPF Institute over the past few weeks, as we ourselves have been victims of a cyber attack. Education Worldwide took the opportunity to research the topic of cybercrime in the field of education. It turned out that education is one of the most popular targets for hackers around the world. The sources we compiled for our webdossier will tell you the reasons for this, it will present you facts and statistics, and it will show you some examples of how different countries are dealing with this problem in the education sector.
Special Focus: Digital Education in Ukraine
![(Click to view the image) Screenshot der Webseite der NGO Osvitoria (Bildungsprojekte in der Ukraine) mit dem Text](https://www.bildungsserver.de/images/NGO_Osvitoria_Website.png)
During the war in Ukraine in 2022, many Ukrainians had to flee to other countries. Once there, the question of schooling for the Ukrainian children quickly arose. In this context, Ukraine's good digital education infrastructure was often praised. It allows Ukrainian children to go on learning in their own language with their own curricula, their own teachers, and maybe their own classmates - no matter whether they may still be in Ukraine or in a totally different country. "Education Worldwide" therefore adds a new section to its webdossier on "Education in Ukraine" which provides information on digital education in Ukraine.
Chart of the month: Worldwide attacks on education in the context of armed conflicts (2015-2020)
![(Click to view the image) Grafik, die für ausgewählte Länder zwischen 2015-2020 die Anzahl an Angriffen auf Bildung im Kontext bewaffneter Konflikte dokumentiert.](https://www.bildungsserver.de/images/ArmedConflicstAffectEdu.jpg)
With regard to current events (war in Ukraine 2022), our chart of the month highlights the number of attacks on educational institutions in selected countries between 2015 and 2020. As you can see, Ukraine was already included in the sad statistics before 2022. The graph is part of the Unesco Global Education Monitoring Report (GEM Report) 2021/22. The data used for the graph are taken from "Education Under Attack 2020", a report published by the Global Coalition to Protect Education from Attack (GCPEA). There is a "Country Profile" for each country examined. We provide links to the publications of Unesco and the GCPEA as well as to the country profile on Ukraine below.

The Unesco (United Nations Educational, Scientific, Cultural and Communication Organisation) and the OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development) are two of the largest international players when it comes to reports, studies and other publications on education. Both have therefore published several interesting publications on the subject of the corona pandemic (COVID-19) and education. We link their publication lists here. The literature is usually free of costs and freely accessible. Sometimes it is also available in different languages.
