The Global Network of Deans of Education (GNDE) is an association of Deans of Education bringing together leaders of teacher education to facilitate cooperation and exchanges of information and knowledge among national and regional associations of Deans of Education, as well as convey the views of teacher educators to various global initiatives and UN agencies. In this roundtable, GNDE members will discuss aspects of the recently published UNESCO (2024) Global Report on Teachers: Adressing teacher shortages and transforming the profession. Selected case studies will be introduced by participating Deans outlining how issues of teacher recruitment and retention; curricula for teacher education; accreditation, scrutiny and inspection of teacher education are being addressed in their contexts. These will be used to facilitate dialogue and interaction amongst attendees which is a key purpose of this roundtable.
