Regional groups

With nearly 100 countries represented in the TTF, regional groups help to enhance knowledge sharing, best practice and challenges. Regional groups in the Arab States, sub-Saharan Africa, Asia and the Pacific, and Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) met for the first time in 2019. Further mechanisms to enhance intra-regional collaboration and synergy with UNESCO and SDG4 Structures are being coordinated by the TTF Secretariat.

New regional spaces are now available in the TTF Member Space.

 

Virtual regional meetings planned for World Teachers' Day - October 2020

Teachers: Leading in crisis, reimagining the future

Following from the Regional Meetings initiated in May/June of 2020 (please see the archive information further down on this page) on distance teaching and the return to school, the TTF, with member organizations and partners is organizing a new series of discussions to coincide with the World Teachers’ Day celebrations. These will build on the initial dialogue while also exploring the topic of teacher leadership and its key role in developing effective solutions to address challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic and building back resilient education systems.

Read the concept note here.

The meetings are open to TTF member countries and organizations as well as non-members. TTF focal points, representatives of Ministries of Education, and other relevant education stakeholders working on teachers’ issues in the region are invited to join the meeting.
