The conference (so named because it takes place 5 years after the first one) will offer a platform to share good practices in recruitment, training, professional development and management of teachers’ careers.
Alongside the conference, UNESCO organised two work days (25-26 October 2009) on Teacher Training Initiative for Sub-Saharan Africa’s (TTISSA) achievements and how they can be pursued in the rest of Sub-Saharan Africa. The side event also looked at ICTs for the development of the teaching profession.
Bamako+5 has been organized by ADEA, Education International and the World Bank.
