Teacher Task Force new strategic plan consultations

The Teacher Task Force (TTF) will be hosting a series of consultative meetings on the development of the 2026-2029 Strategic Plan. Building off of the foundation of the 2022-2025 Strategic Plan, the TTF will continue to ensure that teachers firmly remain at the center of the educational agenda. This approach has been shaped around the three main lines of action (MLA):

1. Knowledge production and dissemination
2. Advocacy
3. National and regional policy learning

Input from members is integral in constructing a collaborative dialogue and aligned our work with the needs of its members on the regional, national, and global level.
