The achievement of SDG 4 and the transformation of education rely heavily on teachers and education personnel. Yet global progress on education is constrained by teacher shortages, teacher qualification and professional development gaps, and issues related to temporary appointments and difficult working conditions. These challenges are amplified for both national teachers and refugee teachers in national and community schools.

The global community has invested considerable resources to research and problematize teacher workforce issues in crisis and non-crisis contexts so that transformative solutions that are contextually salient can be adopted.

The objective and organizing principle of the session will be to reflect on and discuss the transformational changes proposed by the Teachers, Teaching and the Teaching Profession Action Track for the September 2022 Transforming Education Summit through the lens of teachers in refugee contexts, including appointed and community teachers, and qualified, unqualified, national and refugee teachers.
