Formal learning environments rely on teacher quality for their success, yet data-based indicators are currently not sufficient. To address this concern, the UNESCO Institute for Statistics, the UNESCO Division for Teacher Development and Higher Education, and the Secretariat of the International Task Force on Teachers for Education for All organised "The Indicators for Teachers and Teaching Expert Group Meeting", held from 3–4 October in Paris. UIL contributed expertise in the areas of non-formal education and literacy.
The meeting was divided into three parts:
- An overview of existing initiatives tracking teacher-related data
- A smaller group discussion on policy challenges and the role of existing data in resolving them
- A plenum on future collaboration and data sharing among organisations.
The meeting resulted in a commitment to take a broader view of teachers in non-formal education. UIL pledged to improve and deepen data collection on adult teachers/facilitators in future activities.
