Every learner deserves a qualified teacher

Teachers are the most important in-school factor when it comes to learning.

The International Task Force on Teachers for Education 2030, also known as the Teacher Task Force (TTF), is a unique partnership created in 2008 to advocate for teachers and the teaching profession around the world. It is dedicated to raising awareness, expanding knowledge and supporting countries towards achieving target 4.c of SDG 4.

The Teacher Task Force is hosted by UNESCO at its Headquarters in Paris.

Over 160 Members

The TTF has over 160 members (including national governments, international organisations, international NGOs and CSOs and foundations) working together to ensure there is a qualified, motivated and empowered teacher in every classroom.
