To mark World Teachers’ Day, GEM(Global education monitoring) report partnered with the UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS) and the International Task Force on Teachers for Education 2030 to pull together key facts and statistics on challenges for teachers around the world.
The new factsheet provides the latest UIS data on trained teachers, the global indicator for SDG target 4.c. Globally, 85% of primary teachers were trained in 2018 but only 64% in sub-Saharan Africa. The proportion of teachers that are trained in sub-Saharan Africa is falling, mostly due to the rising demand for education from a growing school-age population.
