Are Teachers Valued in Education in Emergencies Settings?
What we know and how we address the challenges
#ValueTeachers
Location: Online
Co-organised by NORRAG and the EiE Hub, this will be an interactive 60 minute open discussion to mark World Teachers Day 2024. The event will take UNESCO’s Global Report on Teachers as a scene setter, acknowledging the compounding effect of teacher shortages on children, youth, and adolescents amidst increasing conflict, forced displacement, and climate related risks.
Three guests, based on their organisation’s research and programming, will be invited to respond to the opening prompt: Are teachers prioritised in emergency settings? What we know and how we address the challenges. Following initial remarks, members will be invited to participate in the discussion that explores the politics, policies, and practices that define teachers’ work and education outcomes in emergency settings.

- Danni Falk, Senior Researcher, ERICC / International Rescue Committee

- Chris Henderson, Education in Emergencies Specialist, NORRAG
