4.5: Enable Teachers, Enable Learning


Workshop Partners

 
Working Group discussing Goal 4c “By 2030, substantially increase the supply of qualified teachers, including through international cooperation for teacher training in developing countries, especially least developed countries and small island developing States”

As the world today struggles to transform itself into a sustainable society, the challenges of teacher education, such as the ones listed above, become even more complex. The UN Decade of Education for Sustainable Development (2005-2014) has already established the role of education as a key driver for realizing sustainable development, consequently, the education systems, and therefore the teachers, the world over, have been entrusted with the responsibility of preparing global citizens.

This has been reiterated in the UN Sustainable Development Goals as well, with Goal 4 focuses on Formal Education, with 4(c) on Teacher Capacity Building.

With focus on the world agenda on education; on education and communication for sustainable development; and on teacher capacity building for ensuring quality teaching-learning for all; this
Workshop discussed and deliberated upon a variety of innovative cases, experiences, implementation strategies and policy frameworks, from around the world, in meeting major global challenges in teacher education. The Workshop attempted to recommend and put forth innovative and effective implementation strategies and policy frameworks for meeting up key challenges in teacher education that the world faces today.
