A series of virtual seminars on the future of the teaching profession is being held in 2020. The first in the series for this year took place on 15 September. There were 61 participants from eight countries. They came from education and teacher unions, ministries of education and international stakeholder groups in education. The seminar is part of a process that it is hoped will lead to a consensus on teacher professional issues between teacher unions and governments. The focus is on collaboration between teachers’ unions and governments to offer better learning opportunities in times of crisis.
