Call for representatives: 13th Session of the Joint ILO/UNESCO CEART
Dear members,
The Joint ILO/UNESCO Committee of Experts on the Application of the Recommendations concerning Teaching Personnel (CEART) is preparing for its 13th Session which will take place in Geneva at the ILO headquarters (1-5 October 2018). There will be an information session on Monday, 1 October to which the IOE is invited and for which our members can nominate representatives. We invite our interested members to submit a letter of nomination to the IOE by Friday, 31 August, at the latest.
The CEART was established in 1966 to monitor and promote the use of the ILO/UNESCO Recommendation concerning the Status on Teachers, and later the UNESCO Recommendation Concerning the Status of Higher-Education Teaching Personnel. The CEART meets every three years and is composed of 12 international experts in the field of education. The CEART adopts a report on a number of issues on its agenda and communicates its findings to the ILO Governing Body, the lnternational Labour Conference and the UNESCO Executive Board, so that they may take appropriate action and authorize transmission of the findings to member States of both organizations.
The purpose of the information session is to allow significant organizations in the field of teaching to provide input to the CEART on matters relating directly to both Recommendations. We would therefore invite your organization to present views on trends in education which have a bearing on the status of teachers, in particular those related to specific items on the 13th CEART's agenda, namely:
- Teachers and the future of work;
- Assessment and evaluation of higher education personnel;
- 20 years of the 1997 Recommendation: assessment of trends and prospects fer action;
- Upper secondary and tertiary TVET conditions;
- Privatization and education (privatization of primary and secondary in developing countries);
- 50 years CEART: CEART, the Recommendations, SDG 4 and the road to Education 2030.
Any IOE members wishing to participate in the information session should get in touch with Maria Paz Anzorreguy for any additional information and make sure their nomination letters reach the IOE by Friday, 31 August, at the latest.
Yours sincerely,
