UNESCO, the Teacher Task Force, and the International Labour Organization continue to highlight the need to create healthy, thriving working conditions for educators. They seek respect and dignity in the education professions, as demonstrated through regular, fair, and life-sustaining remuneration, as well as through recognition of the expertise, energy, and commitment teachers bring to their work. Calls for greater teacher autonomy, agency, and empowerment are mounting as nations look to address shortages in their educator workforce or as they seek to attract and retain highly qualified, diverse candidates. In this column, educators from across Lebanon reflect on what supports them as leaders in theirclassroom and in their communities.
