"Teaching as a Profession: Requirements for Equitable Quality Education"
Among the actions ascribed to the TTF is the monitoring of the teacher gaps to inform appropriate and responsive policies at global and country levels. According to the 2013/2014 EFA Global Monitoring Report, projections based on data from 2011 show that 5.2 million teachers would have to be recruited between 2011 and 2015 in order to meet the Universal Primary Education (UPE) goal by 2015 (EFA goal 2). Country-level and regional discrepancies exist. But teacher shortage and quality are a global concern and are influenced by changing education demands.Building on the ground work done by the GMR, the TTF proposes to deepen the review of prevailing policy provisions on the teaching profession around the world and map out requirements for the profession in different contexts to inform implementation of post-2015 education agenda. 25 countries are identify for this report.
