ILO Handbook of good human resource practices in the teaching profession

Teachers are recognized as key to educational quality and success in any society‘s education system. Understanding the importance of human resource policies and practices in the process of recruiting, retaining, professionally supporting and providing the proper working environment for sufficient numbers of teachers that meet the needs and expectations of quality education for all – in essence creating a Decent Work agenda for these highly valued professionals – the ILO Governing Body mandated the ILO‘s Sectoral Activities Department to prepare a toolkit on good human resource practices for the teaching profession.
