Teachers Task Force for EFA

On behalf of the Teacher Task Force Secretariat, I extend our heartfelt sympathy to the people of Nepal following the devastating tragedy.
We cannot help thinking of people - all the people of Nepal - who have been affected by such a terrible destruction and loss of lives. And we know that numbers of teachers, students, schools, teacher training institutions, communities are among them.

During this difficult time, the Secretariat of the Teachers Task Force, on behalf of the co-chairs, proposes to all members of our network to support the global efforts for reconstruction and rehabilitation of the education system and human resource base in Nepal. We are proposing to:

• liaise with humanitarian organizations active on the ground to collect information on teachers and educators affected, and teacher training institutions damaged;
• collect information from the TTF network on their planed or ongoing efforts targeting teachers, to reinforce coordination and complementarity;
• seek and make available technical expertise on teacher-related issues and training resources and materials to the humanitarian organizations working on the ground;

The page at the following link: http://www.teachersforefa.unesco.org/v2/index.php/en/call-to-action-for-nepal is open for you to share your contributions.

We sincerely believe that this call to action will gather your support and engagement to revive education – quality education for all Nepalese in a near future.
