Covid-19 and the non-governmental education sector
The non-governmental sector provides the only viable option for people’s learning in many parts of the world – particularly in low-income countries where government-run systems are often overwhelmed and unable to keep pace with the demand for education – but it does not receive much interest in policy and research.
Teacher management in different environments worldwide
Globally, there are 70.8 million forcibly evolving people. Of these, 25.9 million are students, more than half of whom are private. Effective management of teachers is fundamental to ensuring inclusive, equitable and high-quality education for these young people, and teachers are the most important factor affecting student learning. In situations of crisis and displacement, the role of teachers is particularly important: they are sometimes the only resource available to students. This report looks at teacher management in different contexts and is the second in a series of recent reports. It contributes to a burgeoning body of evidence about teachers in evolving contexts and aims to provide decision guidance to support modern professional education.
