With protests in places as disparate as Paris, Beirut, and Santiago, 2019 saw civil unrest around the world. The role of education in building more democratic societies and informed citizens capable of reaching their full potential, while always important, has never been more critical in a time rife with inequality and discord.

As yet another year comes to a close, we at the Center for Universal Education (CUE) reflect on seven key education trends and themes that give us hope for a more prosperous future in the next decade. These seven themes and trends, listed in no particular order, draw on research from both inside CUE and external colleagues.

1. The potential of civic education to develop citizens. Startlingly, the OECD found that, on average globally, approximately nine out of 10 15-year-old students can’t tell the difference between fact and opinion. Civic engagement groups are taking note of this worrying trend and have launched coalitions to teach youth digital literacy, civility, and community engagement to foster good around the world; books with lessons on the history of education and democracy ; and campaigns to recommit to democratic, nonpartisan values and institutions .

2. Rethinking the education workforce. Teacher quality is a key determinant of student success, but teachers are undersupported and in short supply, particularly in certain regions such as sub-Saharan Africa. Two marquee reports that published this year—“ Learning to leapfrog: Innovative pedagogies to transform education ” and “ Transforming the education workforce: Learning teams for a learning generation ”—consider how to widen the pool of individuals who are considered educators, with an aim of unburdening teachers from administrative tasks and creating a broader education workforce.

3. Innovative ways to measure student learning. To help students thrive in the 21st century, a broader definition of learning and skills is needed. To this end, the World Bank, in coordination with the UNESCO Institute for statistics, announced the Learning Poverty target , the goal that all children should be able to read by age 10. In addition, with support from CUE, countries in Africa and Asia are developing new ways to learn and assess 21st century skills such as creativity and problem-solving to ensure that all children have the breadth of skills needed to reach their full potential and thrive in our rapidly changing world.

4. Blending urban and child development. Children spend a full 80 percent  of their waking hours outside of school, and cross-disciplinary solutions to better take advantage of this time in urban areas are growing in popularity. Brookings launched the Playful Learning Landscapes initiative and gained new expertise through the appointment of Fellow Helen Shwe Hadani . Large-scale events, such as the Conscious Cities Festival in NYC and the Urban95 festival in Rotterdam, contemplated how to transform public spaces into playful learning opportunities.

5. Scaling quality education to increase impact. Scaling quality education programs doesn’t happen automatically—rather, it requires deliberation and strategy from the start. With the launch of numerous Real-time Scaling Labs (applied research projects to learn from, document, and support education initiatives as they scale) by CUE and partners around the globe, and reports considering how to pay for education outcomes at scale in places like India, expanding and deepening the impact of small-scale initiatives was a priority focus.

6. Preparing for a changing work environment. While robots are unlikely to wholly replace workers, concerns about technological advancements eliminating jobs in some industries while expanding others abound. The “ World Development Report 2019: The Changing Nature of Work ” found these fears to be largely unfounded, but other reports offer guidance on industrial development strategies to grow “good” jobs and to upgrade low-wage workers’ career prospects.

7. Leaving no learners behind. Ambitious Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4 has been around for years, but outside-the-box thinking is needed it if we are to achieve it by the target date of 2030. Whether looking at a country’s investment in girls’ education and rights or how a “leapfrog” mindset can help the most marginalized students catch up to the learning levels of today’s highest achievers, ensuring no one is left behind must remain high on the agenda over the next 10 years.

Looking ahead into the new year and next decade, we are hopeful that progress in these seven areas continues. We look forward to collaborating with colleagues across Brookings and around the world to help create a more just, equitable society where everyone can develop the full breadth of skills needed to lead healthy, productive lives.

The Journal of Studies in International Education ( JSIE )  http://journals.sagepub.com/home/jsi reaches an extensive international audience. It is the premiere forum for higher education researchers, teachers, policy makers, leaders, managers and administrators, interested in all facets of the internationalization of higher education.

JSIE publishes critical scholarly peer reviewed articles from researchers and practitioners in all regions of the world contributing new insights into current and emerging concepts, theories, research and practice in the internationalization of higher education.

Topics include, for example, the relationship of the internationalization of higher education to:

· Globalization

· International cooperation and competition, capacity-building and development assistance

· National, regional, transnational and cross-border policies and practices

· Quality assurance policies and practices

· Public and institutional policy formulation and impact

· Strategic institutional management

· Advances in and use of technology

· Faculty and staff development

· Innovation in mobility of students and staff

· The curriculum and co-curriculum at home and abroad

· Student issues

· Other levels of education

The Journal of Studies in International Education is published on behalf of the European Association for International Education (EAIE) on behalf of the Association for Studies in International Education (ASIE), a group of organizations whose mission is to encourage international education and serious research and publications dealing with this topic. As such, the initial objective of ASIE and the primary focus of its activity is support of the publication of JSIE .

The Journal of Studies in International Education (JSIE) aims to support and inform the work higher education leaders, administrators, educators, emerging and established researchers and policy makers interested in all facets of the internationalization of higher education through the publication of original research that advances knowledge, theory and practice in the field. JSIE publishes articles exploring concepts, strategies, approaches and issues of relevance to the internationalization of higher education which make a significant and original contribution to theory and practice.

We publish articles that:

· Make an original and valuable contribution to the scholarly global conversation on issues related to the internationalization of higher education,

· Are evidence-based and grounded in theory and in practice,

· Have a comparative dimension

· Include appropriate and substantial reference to international literature in the field.

Articles discussing national and regional aspects, issues and dimensions of the internationalization of higher education within a global context are our top priority.

Small case studies of institutional policy and descriptions of single programmes or activities, are a low priority. They will not be published unless they locate the case study within a broader context, include appropriate reference to international literature in the area of study and make a substantial and innovative contribution to the field.

We do not generally publish:

· Opinion pieces or essays - although occasionally, where the editors judge the issue to be of particular significance, and the article is of a high enough quality, they will be considered.

· Book reviews - although we do mention new and significant publications we are aware of in editorials.

This introductory chapter highlights the overall objectives and purposes of the volume, to articulate the research and significance of the field of comparative and international education and affairs experienced by Fellows of the Comparative and International Education Society (CIES). They will explicate critical components of their research and policy modalities and postulate how future directions of the field may evolve, based upon ongoing professional involvement in their specialties. Rationales for the subcategories are expounded regarding the salience of crosscutting and interdisciplinary themes. Important dimensions of the field include how the social sciences, humanities, and international affairs have affected the evolving nature of comparative and international education. Hence, the volume is centered around the following themes: (1) succinct history and selection of Fellows by professional societies; (2) conceptual, historical, and theoretical frameworks for enriching the field; (3) pedagogical epistemologies, teachers, and genders to deepen global engagement; (4) policies, practices, and paradigms emerging from applied research; and (5) movements in the new decade.
