Every Child Needs A Teacher Infographic

The supply of teachers is failing to keep pace with the demand for primary education. According to the latest UIS data, the world needs to create 1.6 million new teaching posts by 2015 in order to reach universal primary education, while replacing 5.2 million teachers leaving the profession.

The situation is most extreme in sub-Saharan Africa, where the school-aged population continues to rise. More than 900,000 new primary school teachers are required by 2015.

I highly encourage you to visit The Global Teacher Shortage Interactive Infographic that was created by UNESCO, to check your region.
