Launch of the #TeachersMissing advocacy campaign

[Ruszkiewicz, Anna Ewa]

Dear global communications community,

Join the new #TeachersMissing advocacy campaign, launched today by the Teacher Task Force network during the SDG 4 High-Level Steering Committee Stocktake of Transformative Actions in Education event at UNESCO HQ.

The working conditions of teachers today are the learning conditions of students tomorrow. Unfortunately, 44 million additional teachers are missing globally to reach the goal of attaining universal primary and secondary education by 2030. If we don’t act now, there won’t be enough teachers to ensure that new generations can thrive and contribute to building a more equal and prosperous world. Investing in teachers is more than just a priority. It is an imperative. And it is urgent.

Get involved:  Use and share the social media pack and hashtags #TeachersMissing and #InvestInTeachers Contribute to identifying advocacy opportunities and synergies Submit a blog on how your programme contributes to addressing teacher shortages (good practices, human stories, …) Mobilize your networks, including youth and teachers Participate in drafting the future Call to Action and endorse it Embed the key messages in your communications, campaigns and initiatives

Best regards,

Anna for the Teacher Task Force Secretariat
