Organizers:
International Task Force on Teachers for Education 2030 (TTF)
UNESCO International Research and Training Centre for Rural Education (INRULED)
Background
UNESCO INRULED and TTF are jointly developing a new module for the Teacher Policy Development Guide (TPDG) focusing on rural teachers. The TPDG module on rural teachers will be an independent module, elaborating on the nine dimensions of the TPDG to suit rural contexts. This new module on rural teachers emphasizes equity and social justice, extending its focus beyond rurality to tackle the broader issues of marginality and inequity that exist in society. For more detailed information, please refer to the summary report.
Call for case studies
We invite submissions of case studies that highlight innovative solutions in supporting rural teachers and education. The rural TPDG will compile global case studies showcasing effective rural teacher policies, interventions and strategies, along with their implementation. By incorporating these successful initiatives, the guide aims to provide policymakers, practitioners and researchers with actionable strategies to support rural teachers and enhance rural education systems, ultimately ensuring equitable and quality education for all.
