World Summit on Teachers in Santiago de Chile

UNESCO and the Government of Chile are pleased to announce the World Summit on Teachers, to be held in Santiago de Chile.

Taking place on 28 and 29 August 2025, with a “Day Zero” on 27 August for socio-cultural activities, visits, and pre-accreditation, the Summit is organized in conjunction with the SDG 4 High-Level Steering Committee meeting.

Building on the recent global events and reports that forged a global consensus on the need to invest in dignifying the teaching profession, the Summit aims to address the global challenge of teacher shortages and to advocate for sustained support for teachers in a challenging economic and socio-political context.

It will bring together ministers, teacher representatives, international organizations and key education stakeholders for high-level dialogue on teacher policies, financing, innovation and inclusion.

The International Task Force on Teachers for Education 2030 (Teacher Task Force) will support the organization of the Summit by mobilizing its network and helping to disseminate key messages, ensuring broad engagement across the global education community. The Summit also comes at a pivotal moment as the international community advances the recommendations of the High-Level Panel on the Teaching Profession and the Global Report on Teachers, reinforcing the urgent need for coordinated action to address teacher challenges worldwide.

Official invitations to ministries will follow shortly.

More information will be available here soon.
