To support your coverage of this event, UNESCO has prepared an info graphic highlighting the world’s teacher shortage. The data shows where the shortages are most acute and how many teachers are required where. It also signals the high price that will be paid by school children everywhere, if these shortages are not filled.

The UIS has also produced an interactive atlas on the same issue. To access this document please follow the link below.
