Survey of teachers attitudes to teaching Education for Sustainable Development

and Global Citizenship Education (UNESCO)

1. Introduction and the objective of the survey

UNESCO contracted PPMI to develop to undertake a global survey of teachers in primary and
secondary education on their readiness to integrate Education for Sustainable Development
(ESD) and Global Citizenship Education (GCED) into their teaching. The goal of this survey is to
better understand the perspective of teachers towards ESD and GCED topics and their inclusion
to teaching curriculum, to better understand what approaches towards ESD and GCED are used
by the teachers, and to assess what training and support is currently provided to the teachers
regarding the ESD and GCED topics in various countries and regions. The main objective of the
survey and analysis of the collected data is to assess how prepared and supported primary
and secondary school teachers feel to integrate ESD and GCED into their teaching practices.

2. What personal information do we collect and through which technical means?

Personal data and their purpose

the study.

The survey will not collect personal or sensitive information about a specific individual,
unless the respondent chooses to provide such information in relevant sections of the survey.

Technical information

All responses to the survey questions will be collected using the online survey tool Alchemer.
This tool allows the subscribed organisations to create their own surveys and collect data from
respondents. The system is 100% web based and completely secure. All survey responses
collected using Alchemer are sent over secured and encrypted SSL (Secure Sockets Layer),
ensuring the same level of security as online banks. The servers, on which Alchemer EU branch
operates, are based in Frankfurt, Germany. Therefore, all collected data will be stored at the data
centre in Frankfurt, Germany, and will not be transferred to any other locations. The Privacy
Statement of Alchemer outlines the data security measures the tool employs.
The Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) or Microsoft Excel software will be employed
to analyse the collected data. Analysis will be carried out by PPMI, together with experts assigned
by and collaborating with PPMI, UNESCO and EI.

3. Who has access to your information and to whom is it disclosed?

All the collected data will be immediately anonymised and treated confidentially. The information
you provide will be analysed and presented in aggregate form in project reports together with
the information from other participants, and hence no personal information will be revealed. The
raw data will be stored on the internal servers of PPMI accessible only by researchers conducting
the survey. PPMI does not transmit any personal data to other parties.
4. How do we protect and safeguard your information?

The collected data from the survey respondents will be stored on a server in PPMI. The server is
equipped with mirror backup system to prevent any unauthorised disclosure or access,
accidental or unlawful destruction or accidental loss, or alteration, and to prevent all other
unlawful forms of processing. The server facilities are looked after by IT professionals to avoid
malfunctioning of the hardware and keep the data on the server safe from viruses and other
malicious software which could compromise the security of data.

5. How long do we keep your data?

All the personal data will be deleted after the project is finalised, no later than June, 2022. The
anonymised and aggregated data collected in the survey (opinions and experiences) might be
stored in an online repository and be available for use by third parties.
