International Task Force on Teachers for EFA

The International Task Force on ‘Teachers for Education for All’ (EFA) is the first ever international alliance of EFA partners working together to address the global teacher gap. Its creation was officially endorsed, as reflected in the Oslo declaration, by participants in the Eighth High-Level Group (HLG) meeting on EFA (Norway, 16 to 18 December 2008).

Recognizing the critical role that teachers play in providing Education for All, the Task Force aims to coordinate and foster collaboration on teacher provision worldwide, and to provide a new focus and impetus in the drive for Education for All. The Task Force is funded by several key EFA partners, and its Secretariat is housed at UNESCO.
