Rural teachers in the Asia Pacific region: lessons learnt from policy implementation webinar

Please note that this event is invite only.

As nations strengthen their teacher policies, the specific conditions of rural teachers necessitate targeted policy attention. As recognized by SDG 4, teachers are fundamental for facilitating access to inclusive, equitable and quality education, with goal 4.C appealing for significant increases in teacher supply numbers. Across rural and remote contexts, education systems are struggling to attract and retain qualified teachers, whilst navigating the complex and resource constrained contexts.

To facilitate sustained progress in supporting the rural teacher workforce, TTF and INRULED are hosting a policy learning webinar for members in the Asia-Pacific region, to share knowledge regarding established and promising rural teacher policies. This session will strengthen engagement with the issues of rural teachers, prior to the official publication of the Rural Teachers Module in the Teacher Policy Development Guide (TPDG).

Webinar objectives:

• Acknowledge and discuss the specific challenges and needs of rural teachers.

• Generate recognition across Asia-Pacific Member States for the specific inclusion of rural/remote teacher policy attention across teacher policies.

• Encourage meaningful exchange of rural/remote teacher policies, initiatives and schemes between speakers and participants. Share knowledge and good practices to encourage the development of sustainable rural/remote teacher policies.

• Identify actionable solutions and policy directions that can be integrated into broader teacher policies, which address the complex issues found across rural education structures.
