Teacher Policy Framework for Guyana: A Professional Motivated Teacher Cadre that is Equitably Deployed and Maintained across the Country

Abstract

This document is not a comprehensive teacher strategy but a teacher policy framework, which aims to give direction for the ultimate strategy and to support coherence between the different pillars of teacher development and management within it. It draws its inspiration from the written inputs of the Ministry team, conversations with Ministry colleagues and World Bank and IDB colleagues at two teacher policy workshops, Ministry and CARICOM documents relating to teacher policy, evidence on successful teacher policy reforms, and the workings of high-performing education systems with established teacher development and management systems.
