As part of its new main line of action on national and regional policy learning, The Teacher Task Force is co-organising a series of workshops for the Arab States Region with the Regional Center of Quality and Excellence in Education (RCQE) and the Arab Bureau of Education for the Gulf States (ABEGS), in cooperation with Lebanon and Hamdan Foundation. The first workshop will be held on 13 June, followed by a second workshop in October/November. Between the two workshops, additional reflection by the TTF Secretariat and the regional Steering Committee members will take place to verify assumptions and refine regional policy learning needs for the second workshop.

In particular, the workshops aim to foster exchange and discussion in support of holistic and comprehensive teacher policy development as illustrated in the Teacher Policy Development Guide (TPDG) and its nine interconnected dimensions as a framework. This workshop will focus on common policy learning need related to teacher education and professional development including issues related to teacher training, qualifications, licensing, and its relationship to career structure and teaching standards. In addition to this, countries demonstrated an interest in the ICT dimension of teacher education including ICT skills and pedagogies for remote and distance teaching. 

Country focal points and deputies, including both country and organisational members, will be invited to the Arab States regional workshop. Other key partners with regional remits will be consulted and invited to actively participate as they are familiar with regional policy learning needs.
