00:05 It's a pleasure to be here in Vienna hosting this conference

00:09 for Europe and Central Asia on teachers and teacher policies.

00:12 In this conference,

00:13 we brought policymakers from 14 countries across Europe and Central Asia region,

00:18 as well as our partners from Austrian and Finnish

00:22 governments to discuss how to improve teacher policies and practices

00:26 at country levels.

00:28 The most important is the quality of teachers,

00:31 and this is the.

00:31 importance that goes far beyond technical quality of teaching

00:36 because teachers

00:37 are also role models.

00:39 Therefore they influence their students for their whole life.

00:43 Teachers are a critical part of every educational system.

00:46 The key is that teachers need to be well

00:49 prepared and motivated to do their job effectively.

00:52 That means strong systems to prepare them for teaching

00:55 and strong systems to support them professionally.

00:58 The world needs 44 million new teachers

01:01 to ensure universal primary and secondary education.

01:04 The reason for this is on the one hand,

01:07 growth of the demand,

01:08 but also teacher attrition,

01:10 the fact that teachers are leaving the profession

01:12 at massive rates.

01:16 The World Bank implements a Te tool,

01:19 a classroom observation tool that is used as a diagnostic

01:22 in Romania but also as a professional development program.

01:25 When you learn how to improve as a teacher,

01:28 your practices through self-awareness that leads to self-efficacy.

01:33 With TeachRaw,

01:35 we have an instrument for classroom observation.

01:37 And we got a lot of very,

01:39 very good and useful information out of that

01:43 in order to improve the life of teachers,

01:45 students,

01:46 and to improve the learning in Sarevo Canton,

01:49 we are implementing a curricular reform that has been on paper since 2016.

01:55 What we realized is that teachers Cannot be left alone

01:59 throughout this process.

02:01 They need strategies

02:03 and support

02:04 to navigate through these changes.

02:06 We are implementing new state standards in our public schools,

02:10 and we have big attention

02:12 to STEM teachers' capacity building.

02:14 Happy teachers,

02:15 happy students,

02:16 successful teachers,

02:17 successful students.
