The Role of UNESCO in the Development of Cooperation in the Field of Education: History and Modernity

Abstract

The article presents a retrospective analysis of the fundamental priorities of an international organization in the field of education, science and culture. UNESCO has made a significant contribution to the development of world educational systems in the context of the dynamics of integration processes inherent in the modern era. UNESCO has contributed in the decrease of illiteracy by defending the right of everyone to receive education. One of the priorities of UNESCO is the development of regional cooperation in the field of education in all regions of the world community. In recent decades, the organization has focused on the dissemination of continuing education for all population groups and lifelong learning. Over the course of many activities, UNESCO has focused its research resource on the constant search for the most effective forms of cooperation with the public in various spheres of the life of complex social systems.
