An online discussion will be held on 1 October to mark World Teachers’ Day 2024, co-organised by NORRAG and the Geneva Global Hub for Education in Emergencies. This 60-minute interactive event will explore UNESCO’s Global Report on Teachers, addressing the issue of teacher shortages in emergency settings. With increasing conflict, displacement, and climate-related crises, the discussion will focus on whether teachers are being prioritised, the challenges that arise, and potential solutions.
Experts from various organisations will present insights from their research and programs, examining the policies, politics, and practices influencing teachers' work and education outcomes in emergencies.

Teachers play a key role in ensuring students thrive and succeed in their learning journeys. However, a global teacher shortage poses a significant threat to the quality of education, with millions of children unable to acquire event basic skills. While teaching remains one of the most rewarding professions, currently challenges seem to be pushing qualified educators out of classrooms and discouraging young people from entering the teaching profession.
The International Task Force on Teachers, in collaboration with UNESCO and ILO, recently released the first Global Report on Teachers, addressing the critical issues that need to be tackled to reverse this worrying trend. Additionally, the UN Secretary-General’s High-Level Panel on the Teaching Profession published key recommendations to strengthen the profession.
We invite you to join us for a webinar hosted by Norad, where these pivotal reports will be presented, followed by insights from the President of the Union of Education Norway.

The session will be moderated by Gerd-Hanne Fosen, Education Policy Director, Norad
