About the Day

World Teachers' Day - 2009

Theme:  “Build the future: invest in teachers now!”

In our rapidly changing and interdependent world, teachers not only have to ensure that students acquire solid skills in basic subjects, but also that they become responsible local and global citizens, at ease with new technologies and able to make informed decisions about health, the environment and other challenges.

Sustained investment is required to develop a well-trained and motivated teaching force. A global total of 10.3 million teachers should be recruited between 2007 and 2015 just to meet the goal of universal primary education.

Projected Teacher Recruitment in the World
 

According to UIS estimates provided in Figure 3, 1.3 million teachers will need to be recruited every year between 2007 and 2015 amounting to a global total of 10.3 million over the eight-year period.
 
Of the 10.3 million teachers needed, 8.1 million will be deployed to maintain the current capacity of education systems (i.e. compensate for attrition). About 2.2 million recruits will be needed to expand education systems in order to achieve Universal Primary Education (UPE).
