**Job no**: 548947
**Contract type**: Consultancy
**Duty Station**: Geneva
**Level**: Consultancy
**Location**: Switzerland
**Categories**: Education
UNICEF works in some of the world’s toughest places, to reach the world’s most disadvantaged children. To save their lives. To defend their rights. To help them fulfill their potential.
Across 190 countries and territories, we work for every child, everywhere, every day, to build a better world for everyone.
And we never give up.
**For every child, **_an education_**
**Purpose of the assignment**
Learning is an essential human activity, and every child has the right to education and learning. Yet in Europe and Central Asia, a large number of children and adolescents—and disproportionately more poor and vulnerable children—are out of school and, even when they are in school, do not learn adequately. The learning poverty is cumulative across children’s life course, driving inequality in access to education, acquisition of knowledge and skills, transition to the labor market, and well-being. The existing challenges in education were exacerbated by nationwide school closures during the COVID-19 pandemic.
UNICEF is mandated by the United Nations General Assembly to advocate for the protection of children’s rights, including the right to education. UNICEF Europe and Central Asia Regional Office (ECARO) supports 22 Country Offices (COs) and their government counterparts in strengthening the national and regional capacity to achieve inclusive, quality education and learning for all, with a focus on the most marginalized children, under the framework of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In particular, ECARO supports education system strengthening by providing strategic guidance and technical assistance in several key intervention areas.
Under the key intervention area 2 (digital learning ecosystems), ECARO implements LearnIn, a UNICEF’s regional initiative to harness digital technology, innovation and partnerships for improving inclusive, quality education for all children, with a focus on the most vulnerable. It reflects the belief that education access and quality can be improved by making available an education model that supports the integration of digital learning with the instructional core, building on and improving what teachers know and are accustomed to. The core implementation principles include: leveraging digital technologies and solutions to accelerate education improvement; contextualization, localization, and human-centered design; accessibility and inclusion; flexibility; learners as the target audience; evidence-based; and sustainability and scalability.
**Scope of Work**
Under the overall guidance and direction of the Regional Education Adviser and the project manager of LearnIn, in close collaboration with ECARO Education Section, the Consultant will work for the successful deployment of the LearnIn from technological perspectives. The consultant will provide technical assistance in areas of 1) education system digitalization, 2) frameworks, strategies and policies for digital learning, 3) regional/national platforms for digital learning, and 4) connectivity and device access.
1. Education system digitalization in general
- Promote effective and efficient use of education technology and innovations in education system (e.g., education management information system, digital textbooks, and learning management system) through coordination, knowledge sharing, guidance and technical assistance in collaboration with HQs, ROs and COs and relevant partners including the private sector.
2. Frameworks, strategies and policies for digital learning
- Contribute to the development and updating of global and regional frameworks and strategies on digital learning in coordination with the UNICEF Technology for Development (T4D) sections at HQs and RO and relevant partners.
- Support COs in developing, adapting and implementing national policies on digital learning, particularly in areas of technology, infrastructure and data privacy and security, in alignment with the global and regional frameworks.
3. Regional/national platforms for digital learning
- Support COs in assessing technical needs of digital learning platforms and developing/adapting national platforms (including but not limited to LP) that are aligned with countries’ needs.
- Upload regional digital teacher professional development courses to the regional LP repository of digital contents and make these resources available to COs for adaptation and integration with national platforms.
- Develop guidance for users of the LP-based platforms (the regional LP instance and national LP platforms), which includes use of specific features (e.g., using the offline version, and accessing digital training courses).
- Support, from a technological perspective, the development and administration of regional and national community of practices for teacher trainers and other relevant
