Education Week was established more than 26 years ago to call attention to the importance of education and to showcase the talents of TCI teachers and students. This year’s theme aims to mobilize education partners around a shared vision of quality education, with a focus on:
- Quality Teachers: Teachers are the most important educational resource and a critical determinant of quality.
- Quality tools and resources: Modern curricula and inclusive teaching and learning materials and resources.
- Quality Environment: Supportive, safe, and secure teaching and learning environments enabling teachers to teach effectively.
During this week the general public is encouraged to join in unity with educators across the country in support of quality education for a better TCI.
