The event takes place thanks to the collaboration of UNESCO and the Secretariat of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM).
The meeting has its origin in the efforts of UNESCO, together with the International Task Force on Teachers for Education 2030 (Teacher Task Force) and Education International, to build a framework of guidance which will support governments and teacher organizations to:
- Agree and implement a common understanding on teaching and teaching quality;
- Ensure the quality of teacher training curricula and qualifications through standards describing skill profiles at different stages of the teaching career; and,
- Safeguard a joint regulation of the teaching profession by detailing the mechanisms of governance and accountability to ensure the provision of quality teacher training and, consequently, quality teaching.
