the Effects of the Global Crisis on Education Provision  \nGwang-Chol Chang  \nEducation Sector, UNESCO  \nThis paper summarizes the experience and findings from the monitoring work carried out by UNESCO throughout 2009 to examine and assess the possible effects of the global financial and economic crisis on education provision in its Member States. The findings showed that although it was too early to ascertain the full extent of the impact of the financial and economic crisis on education, there was no obvious indication that education budgets were being cut more than anyother sectoral budgets in many countries. However, there were reports that the crisis was having a severe impact in some countries and communities. It is feared that the aftershocks of the financial crisis will be lasting in social sectors, including education, particularly for the most vulnerable.  \nThis requires continuous monitoring on the part of UNESCO to fulfill its “watching” and warning functions and to encourage Member States to persevere in their efforts for educational development, keeping in mind that education is one of the most viable channels for economic recovery and sustainable development.  \nThe world was in serious economic and  \n2008, a compounded mixture of crises  \nfinancial turmoil through 2007-2009 . In 2007 and into unfolded and hit the world: many countries suffered  \nfrom dramatic increases in world food prices and high fuel prices through the first half of 2008 . The global financial crisis, originating in advanced economies, intensified during the course of the second half of 2008 and severely hit world economies throughout 2009 . According to IMF projections, there was negative global growth, with a 1.1 percent contraction of the global gross domestic product (GDP) in 2009, before expectedly rebounding to around 3 percent in 2010 (IMF 2009) .  \nCompounded by the multiple effects of the global financial crisis, the world entered into an economic recession in 2009, leading to changes in several transmission channels, such as low demand for exports, and declining flows of remittances, private capital, and development aid (UNESCO 2009b) . Depending on the size and structure of their economies, developing countries were variously affected: some countries posted a drastic downturn mainly because of the reduction in remittances or tourism revenue. In others, low domestic and international demand led to a sharp decline in earnings from manufacturing, construction and/or commodity exports. As the International Labor Organization’s September 2009 statistics indicate, large numbers of workers employed in the formal sector, especially manufacturing, commerce and construction, lost their jobs, while others experience cuts in working hours, wages and health or pension benefits.  \nRegarding aid, especially Official Development Assistance (ODA), critical for economic growth and achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) in most low-income countries, the potential loss amounted to billions of dollars because of the crisis (UNESCO 2009a) . The future prospect of external aid for developing countries is gloomy, as the economic downturn has deepened the fiscal constraints in those developed,“donor” countries.  \nGovernments responded to surmount the crisis by taking various measures. Despite severe fiscal constraints caused by declining revenues, they deployed stimulus packages to restore aggregate demand and growth (UNESCO, 2009a) . Counter-cyclical measures taken by advanced and emerging economies are considered instrumental for an economic recovery that is unfolding  \n© 2010 Current Issues in Comparative Education, Teachers College, Columbia University, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED Current Issues in Comparative Education, Vol. 12(2): 14-20  \nMonitoring the Effects of Global Crisis on Education Provision  \nearlier than initially anticipated.
