The demand of teachers in Sub-Saharan Africa continues to grow as many African Children get opportunity to enjoy their fundamental Universal right to Education.UNESCO (2000) indicated that Africa would need to increase teaching workforce by one-third of its current 3.1 million teachers, in order to address the shortage of teachers by 2030.
Against this background, the Department of Teacher Development in Zimbabwe Open University is organizing the 1st International Conference on Teacher Development through ODL, to be held at Rainbow Towers in Harare Zimbabwe, on 17-17 March 2016.
The goal of this conference is to offer a world-wide connection between Teachers, Students, Researchers, Lectures and key education stakeholders from wide range of academic fields and backgrounds interested in exploring and sharing their practice on teacher development through ODL.
