Roundtable on Teacher Compensation in Fragile States, Situations of Displacement and Post-Conflict Return
On October 11, 2006, the International Rescue Committee, Save the Children and the Women's Commission for Refugee Women and Children, on behalf of the Inter-Agency Network for Education in Emergencies (INEE), sponsored a roundtable discussion on teacher compensation in fragile states, situations of displacement and post-conflict return at the World Bank. This one-day meeting of technical experts from nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), UN agencies and bilateral and multilateral donors provided a forum for discussing challenges to adequately compensating teachers in various settings, sharing good practices and lessons learned and identifying common themes to set the agenda for future work in this area. Presentations included an overview of the issues and country specific case studies from Liberia, South Sudan and Darfur on challenges and ways in which teacher compensation has been addressed.
