Tanzania is one of the
top ten countries globally with the highest projection of the total number of
teachers who have to be recruited by 2030. According to the new paper, jointly
released by the UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS) and the Education for All
Global Monitoring Report on World Teachers' Day, Tanzania needs to recruit at
least 406,600 new teachers by 2030.
Closely followed by Tanzania is Uganda, which
stands as the tenth most needy country in teacher recruitment. According to the
statistics, Uganda needs at least 372,800 new teachers by 2030. Other African
countries leading the league of ten most needy countries are Nigeria at number
four and Democratic Republic of Congo at number seven.
The new data released by UNESCO show a
chronic lack of trained teachers in many countries. Without action, it will be
impossible to get all children into school and learning by 2030. In total more
than 27 million teachers will be needed to achieve universal primary education
by 2030. The report also shows that in the rush to fill this gap, many
countries are recruiting new teachers with little training.
In the past decade, countries have made
great efforts to steadily increase the supply of teachers. Since 1999, at least
22 countries have more than doubled their teacher workforces. In particular,
Afghanistan, Burundi, Congo and Niger have tripled their teaching staff over
the same period. To date, in primary education alone, there are about 29
million teachers working in classrooms around the world.
