The Africa Federation of Teaching Regulatory Authorities (AFTRA) organizes the 10th International Conference & 12th Roundtable which will be hosted by the Ministry of Education, Art and Culture, Republic of Namibia, and Namibia National Teachers Union (NANTU).
During the Ministerial Session on May 9, the 'Supporting teachers through policy development – lessons from sub-Saharan Africa' will be launched. Based on the experiences of nine countries in sub-Saharan Africa, the new report by UNESCO and the Teacher Task Force provides an overview on the use of the Teacher Policy Development Guide to develop teacher policies, to improve the effective organization and management of the teacher workforce to ensure countries can deliver on the promise of quality education.
The session will also illustrate that teachers should be at the core of teacher policy development based on a collaborative framework, including the important role of social dialogue. It will also provide a number of key findings and recommendations for national governments and development partners to consider in current and future teacher policy development efforts.
SPECIAL GUEST OF HONOUR H.E. Hage Gottfried Geingob, President of the Republic of Namibia
