 This
edition of the Report focuses on the world’s 57 million teachers.
It
reviews global trends and developments in education and educational
policies affecting teachers, their status and work, and their education
and training. The difficult situation facing teachers in the world’s
poorest countries is highlighted, as well as the emerging challenges for
teachers and teaching posed by the introduction into education of the new
information and communication technologies.
‘Teachers
have a pivotal role to play in preparing the young generation to help
realize our hopes that the coming century will see a more socially just,
more tolerant and more peaceful world. Their situation merits the closest attention of
all who wish
to leave such a world to our children’.
