The teacher gap challenge
Globally, over 2 million teachers are needed to meetthe goal of universal primary education by 2015,55% of them in Sub-Saharan Africa
There are 49 countries with a moderate teacher gap(0.25-2.9%) and 34 countries with a severe teachergap (3-20%)

The quality challenge Recruitment of unqualified, under qualified or contract
teachers to meet teacher shortages and to reduce costsMali, Niger, India, Nepal, Indonesia
Large class sizes (STRs: Chad-61; Rwanda-68; Liberia-82;Central African Republic-84; Tanzania-54; Zambia-61)
Shortage of basic infrastructure, facilities, teaching and
learning resources
Quality education requires quality teachers

The professional challenge Deprofessionalisation and casualisation of the teaching profession
caused by:
the recruitment of unqualified, under qualified or contract teachers
Low salaries and poor/deteriorating conditions of service for teachers
Accountability mechanisms based on competition rather thancooperation among teachers and schools
Linking teacher performance and remuneration to standardisedassessments and its impact on the school curriculum and learners
Deskilling and loss of professional status for migrant teachers
Attack on teachers human, trade union and professional rights
Excluding teachers from education policy-making & social dialogue

The financing challenge Too little money is invested in education: Many states invest less 6% of their countries GDP on education
(global average for developing countries-3.8%) and allocate less than20% of their national budgets to education e.g. This year Ugandas
education budget fell from 17 to 14 % of the national budget The total external annual financing gap for basic education in poor
countries stands at $16 billion. In 2009, the total provided by all donorswas $5.6 billion
The 23 major bilateral donors that make up the OECD DevelopmentAssistance Committee gave less than 3% of their total aid to basiceducation

What can we do about these challenges?
To address the qualified teacher gap-for all levels of education, includingearly childhood, primary and post-primary education (UIS to calculatethe entire teacher gap)
To focus on the Student to Qualified Teacher Ratio (SQTR) rather than
the STR, which may include unqualified teachersADOPT A LIFE-LONG LEARNING APPROACH TO TEACHER EDUCATION
Governments to invest in initial teacher preparation, to recruit anddeploy female and male teachers in such a way that every child is taught
by a qualified teacher Governments need to institute induction programmes for all newly-
qualified teachers and to invest in in-service training for all teachers andschool leaders

What can we do about these challenges (cont.)
To promote social dialogue and the involvement of teachers and theirorganisations in policy development, implementation, monitoring andevaluation
To improve conditions for effective teaching and learning (teaching and
learning resources, salaries and conditions of service for all teachers) To promote and support establishment of teacher professional councils
Governments to invest at least 6% of their countries GDP in education
Development partners to allocate at least 10% of their development aid to
basic

Money put into education is not an expense
but an investment. It is an investment inour children, young people and the future
of our nations.
