At country level, GPE supports the development, implementation and monitoring of government-led education sector plans. GPE is committed to working with teachers in the long term to promote their effective inclusion in local education groups across GPE partner countries.
The role teachers play in GPE at country level differs from context to context depending on how teachers and local education groups are organized and how open governments and other partners are towards the engagement of teacher organizations.
Through representation in local education groups, teacher organizations can be helpful in sector diagnostics, policy development, and monitoring of implementation.
Given their presence in schools, teachers can quickly identify shortcomings in the implementation of a new policy or identify unintended consequences of new approaches that require remedial action.
