The Global Teacher Crisis

The Global Teacher Crisis demands urgent attention, especially in Sub-Saharan Africa, where four million new teachers are needed, and half of the existing workforce is untrained. This conference paper outlines innovative strategies for teacher training and professional development, emphasizing the importance of technology and new modes of learning. It argues that traditional institutions are inadequate for 21st-century needs and discusses the potential of communication technologies to foster collaboration and creativity in education, aiming to rejuvenate work-based professional learning.
