The call from Joint UN agencies comes as the world celebrates Teachers day today and nearly  two  years  since  the  outbreak  of  the  COVID-19  pandemic where many  education  systems  are  still  facing significant disruptions.

According to a statement from the agencies, a  successful  education  recovery  starts  with  ensuring  teachers’  well-being,  adequate  pay and safety, including their prioritization for vaccination together with other key workers.

“A  successful  education  recovery  calls  for  investment  in  more  teachers  and  in  training  and professional development opportunities, so that educators may enrich their practice and gain the skills to integrate and use educational technologies effectively to support learning and adapt to a diversity of learners’ needs,” read the statement.

They are also calling for the celebration of Teachers for their exceptional dedication and courage and for ensuring learning continuity as well as their capacity to adapt and innovate under very challenging and uncertain conditions.

“Now is the time to recognize the exceptional role teacher’s play and to empower them with the training, professional development, support and working conditions they need to deploy their talent.  This  is  a  time  of  challenge  but  also  an  opportunity  for  rapid  transformation  to  address  the  unfulfilled  needs  which  have  been  multiplied  by  the  pandemic.  Sub-Saharan  Africa  alone  requires  15  million  more  teachers  to  reach  the  education  goals  by  2030,” read the statement.

Celebrations to mark World Teacher’s day are running under the theme “Teachers at the heart of education recovery.
