The scope of this note is focused primarily on teachers working in basic education: in primary and lower secondary schools. It also covers educators working in Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET). The policy recognizes that some of the most marginalized attend non-formal or alternative basic education.
The management of teachers in non-formal education is not covered specifically by this strategy. It is the aspiration, however, that all teachers, including those working outside of the formal school system, should be qualified, and the principles outlined in this strategy will also be relevant for teachers in non-formal education. Also, this document recognises that valuable lessons from the non-formal sector can be useful for informing teacher strategies in the formal sector.
Other education workforce roles can also be important for ensuring inclusion and wellbeing of learners and provide vital support for teachers.
