2020年已到尾聲，儘管今年全球的關注點均在疫情發展，但其他領域的態勢走向也同樣值得關注。根據全球發展中心的資料，2020年全球教育的5個趨勢如下：

️鉛中毒正在損害億萬兒童的認知能力和受教育機會

️對弱勢群體的早期投資似乎並不比後期投資更具成本效益，在更大年齡段的幹預措施同樣也可以取得成功。

️東亞國家在四年級的數學和科學成績方面都領先世界，而菲律賓、巴基斯坦和南非在四年級的數學和科學成績上都較為落後。

️受疫情影響，紐約市市長取消了紐約市所有中學的入學招生考試，代之以抽簽。這項新政策是一項試驗，它可能會終結擇優錄取的學校，並永久性地改善該市的融合。

️越來越多的非洲聯盟國家通過法律和政策，保護少女懷孕後繼續受教育的權利。

【Sustainable Development Goal 4: Quality Education】

2020 is coming to an end. Although the global focus this year is on the pandemic, the trends in other areas are also worthy of attention. According to the Center for Global Development, the 5 trends in global education in 2020 are as follows:

️Lead poisoning is harming the cognitive ability and educational opportunities of hundreds of millions of children.

️Investing earlier in the life of disadvantaged individuals did not appear to be more cost-effective than investing later on. Interventions at an older age can be just as successful.

️East Asian countries lead the world in both grade 4 math and science. The Philippines, Pakistan, and South Africa are among the worst performers on both grade 4 math and science.

️Due to the pandemic, the New York City mayor Bill de Blasio decided to eliminate all admissions screening into New York City middle schools and replace it with a lottery. de Blasio has called the new policy an experiment which could end selective schools and improve integration in the city for good.

️ A growing number of countries in the African Union have adopted laws and policies protecting adolescent girls’ right to continue their education following pregnancy.
