UNESCO EDUCATION SECTOR 5

• Strengthening policies, plans, legislation and

system (teacher data as part of EMIS)

• Emphasizing equity, inclusion and gender equality

(teacher availability; teaching materials; teacher training on inclusive education, etc.)

• Focusing on quality and learning (learner-

centered, active and collaborative pedagogical approaches; teacher policies and regulations; assessment, etc.)

• Promoting lifelong learning (quality educators in

post-basic education levels)

• Addressing education in emergencies (teacher

preparedness, support and training) FIVE STRATEGIC APPROACHES

KEY MESSAGE: ACCOUNTABLE TEACHERS

• Teachers have primary responsibility for

providing high-quality instruction, but they are expected to do far more than teach.

• Student test scores and classroom observation

form part of teacher evaluations. But the time and capacity development required to ensure it generates useful feedback to improve teacher effectiveness should not be underestimated.

• Professional learning communities are an

accountability approach that has helped increase teachers’ pedagogical and content knowledge, with associated changes in practice. But they are less common in poorer settings, where mentoring and collaborative practices can be rare.
