United Nations officials warned that there is a huge need for well-trained and well-supported teachers at World Teachers' Day, particularly in African and Arab States where the teacher shortage are worst hit.
UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization reported that another 5.2 million teachers are needed in order to achieve the Millennium Development Goal of achieving universal primary education by 2015.
The heads of four major UN agencies and a partner organization, Education International, said in a joint message for World Teachers' Day that the challenge goes beyond number as teachers far too often remain under-qualified and poorly paid, with low status, and excluded from education policy matters and decisions. And “unless we are able to hire more teachers, we will have generations of people who are unemployed and unemployable,” Special Envoy for Global Education, Gordon Brown, said,
“Education is not only the way to unlock individual opportunity. It is not only the only way to break the cycle of poverty. But it is also the way that individual nations can become prosperous,” Mr. Brown explained, calling for mobilization of the private sector, faith groups, civil society, young people and others to pressure domestic governments into further prioritizing education.
World Teachers' Day is held annually since 1994 as an annual commemoration of the UNESCO-ILO Recommendation Concerning the Status of Teachers which was signed in 1966. The Day also celebrates the vital role of teachers in providing quality education at all levels.
