Seminar Series on The Future of the Teaching Profession in Africa 2020
Teacher Professionalism & Curriculum in an Age of Disruption: The Impact of Pandemics and Other Crises on Education Systems
Education International (EI), International Task Force on Teachers for Education 2030 (TTF), Open Society Foundations (OSF), and UNESCO International Institute for Capacity Building in Africa (IICBA) are organising the third in a three-part seminar series on The Future of the Teaching Profession in Africa. Building on the learning and outcomes of the two previous seminars and in light of the current disruption in teaching and learning worldwide, the theme for the 2020 seminar is Teacher Professionalism & Curriculum in an Age of Disruption: The Impact of Pandemics and Other Crises on Education Systems. This seminar contributes to the realisation of the objectives of the Continental Education Strategy for Africa (CESA), specifically in the area of Teacher Development, and supports the work of the CESA Teacher Development Cluster. This seminar also supports the work of the International Task Force on Teachers for Education 2030.
