Reported by: Teacher Task Force

We are proud to announce that the long-awaited first Teacher Task Force & UNESCO Global Report on Teachers was officially launched on the first day of the 14th hashtag#TeacherPolicyForum in Johannesburg, South Africa.

With new data, including on financing, and recommendations to address the critical issue of global teacher shortages, the report serves as a call to action for education actors and policymakers, setting the tone for three days of dialogue in Johannesburg during our flagship event.
