The High-level Panel on the Teaching Profession was convened by the United Nations Secretary General in response to the global teacher shortage. The Panel brought together academics, ministers, former presidents, and teachers and students and their unions. Tasked with providing policy advice for governments to ensure that every child’s right to a professionally-trained, qualified, and well-supported teacher is fulfilled, the Panel identified 59 recommendations. The recommendations cover a broad range of topics, including: pay, conditions and job security; professional practice; gender, equity and diversity; social dialogue and collective bargaining; technology and the future of work in education; and education financing. These broad and progressive recommendations are a unique opportunity to effect real change for millions of teachers and students around the world.
