The Teacher Task Force network, represented by the Secretariat, Germany, Indonesia, India, Republic of South Africa and Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, is present at the 2024 G20 Education Working Group Sherpa meeting, hosted by Brazil.

The focus of the intervention will be on the critical findings from our latest Global Report on Teachers, which highlights the urgent need to address teacher shortages worldwide, with 44 million primary and secondary teachers needed by 2030 to address primary and secondary universal education.

The focus will be on the G20 country examples with good practices that contributed to addressing teacher shortages, including:

• More competitive teacher salaries
• In-service training
• Induction programs
• Communities of Practice (CoPs)
• Support for rural teachers
• Improved working conditions
• Promoting gender equity
