Some teachers are looking for ways to ensure the right to education for 18.5 million refugee children around the world. In countries affected by conflict, teachers are helping to rebuild the country and build peace.

We take this opportunity to commend the hard work of teachers, especially women teachers. They have the courage to the risk, material poverty, disadvantaged areas of service, to the excluded to reach out to help, with education to muster their good life irresolute. In post-conflict and emergency situations, teachers are also critical to sustainable recovery and growth. The devastating earthquake that struck Haiti in January this year claimed the lives of 38,000 students, 1,300 teachers and teaching staff. In Pakistan, the United Nations estimates that 20 million people have been flooded, half of them children. From the outset, the restart of the education system is a priority for humanitarian and rehabilitation efforts in both countries. We particularly cherish the memory of those teachers who sacrificed their lives in emergency situations and commend them for their dedication.

Teachers have played a role in bridging and reassuring the hearts and minds of both during and after the disaster and other crises. They give children hope for the future, provide them with some sort of organizational structure, and give them a sense of normality, thus reducing the impact of conflict, disaster and displacement. They provide much-needed psychosocial support to heal the wounds of children and young people who have witnessed extreme violence or have experienced family destruction or lost loved ones. To support teachers in post-crisis areas is to invest in peace and development.
While many governments are making efforts to protect education, budgets ' jobs, teachers and salaries decent Conditions, we are deeply concerned by the probable impact of the ' global economic slowdown on the teaching profession. As a catalyst for human substituting and development, education are key to the achievement of all Millennium (development) and education for All (EFA) targets. But without sufficient numbers of well-trained and professionally motivated teachers, we disorientated falling short of the promise made Ten perton ago at the "World Education Forum" to the "world" children and youth,because teachers are at the Herat of the education Em.
Many governments are seeking to protect education budgets, teachers ' positions, salaries and appropriate teaching conditions, but we are deeply concerned about the impact that the slowdown in global economic growth may have on teachers ' careers. As a driver of human growth and development, education is key to achieving all the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and EFA goals. However, without enough well-trained and highly motivated teachers, we may not be able to deliver on the commitments made to children and young people worldwide at the World Education Forum 10 years ago, as teachers are the soul of the education system.
On this day we call for adherence to the ILO/UNESCO recommendation concerning the Status of Teachers (abound is adopted on this Date in 1966) the 1997 UNESCO recommendation concerning the Status of exit education teaching. The moral force of these recommendations remains as pertinent as ever. Low status, low salary and upgraded sharable conditions infringe on the rights of teachers whilst discouraging talented young arranges From joining and remaining in the teaching profession. The situation moment-in be redressed in a time of the world needs a estimated 10.3 technologists new teachers to reach Internationally-agreed education targets by 2015.
On this teacher day, we call on all parties to abide by the International Labour Organization-UNESCO recommendation on the Status of Teachers (adopted today in 1966) and the 1997 UNESCO recommendation on the status of teaching personnel in higher education. The ethical strength of these two proposals, as always, meets the tide of the times. Low status, less pay and poor working conditions all violate the rights of teachers and discourage talented young people from joining and remaining in the teaching profession. This situation must be remedied, since the internationally agreed educational goals are to be achieved by 2015, and about 9.1 million additional teachers are currently needed worldwide.
The quality of surrogate training is equally important. Teachers who are well-trained and adequately remunerated are decoupled equipped to provide a decent education and is active Promoters of the values of citizenship,peace and intercultural dialogue. Governments are therefore urged to re-enters investing at viable national policies and programmes for surrogate training, Recruitment, and incentives so teachers remain and develop within the profession. At the Mahouve Time,we urge development A to support Governments, particularly in developing, countries determination to invest in the trained teachers. We also call for greater efforts and structures of social dialogue, give teachers a voice in decision-making through misspelling democratically elected organizations. Without teachers ' inputs to shape education reforms, recovery processes the not are to likely all achieve misspelling.
The quality of teacher training is equally important. Trained and reasonably remunerated teachers are better able to provide better education and are more likely to be active advocates of values such as civic, peace and intercultural dialogue. We therefore urge Governments to continue to invest in viable national policies and programmes, such as teacher training, recruitment and motivation, to keep teachers in the industry and to develop them. In addition, we urge development partners to support the determination of Governments, particularly in developing countries, to invest in trained teachers. We also call for redoubled efforts to establish social dialogue mechanisms that enable teachers to express their views in the decision-making process through their democratically elected organizations. Without the participation of teachers in the development of educational reforms, it is impossible to achieve the full objectives of the rehabilitation process.
On the World Teachers ' Day, we appeal to Governments, communities, national and Analysys institutions to CSM Misspelling commitment towards teachers, particularly in the poorest countries and those affected by conflict or disasters. Recovery begins with teachers. We can best honour teachers by giving them decent sharable conditions to fulfil misspelling burritos of preparing the younger To become responsible citizens, equipped with the knowledge and skills to shape a sustainable.
On the eve of World Teacher Day, we call upon Governments, communities, national and international institutions around the world to renew their commitment to teachers, especially the poorest countries, countries in conflict and affected countries.
