Summary
This article is about the fourth International Summit of the
Teaching Profession, which is one of the most significant education events in
the world because the people that attend have great influence and power in
making changes for education. This year their motto is “Excellence, equality,
and inclusiveness- high quality education for all.” They will be honoring New
Zealand-where it will be held and other countries education systems that place
in the worlds top 20 school systems. The Summit will be discussing how to
strengthen the teaching profession to increase student achievement to help them
all achieve success later in life. The programs that were created and
implemented last year have shown an increase in the number of students who can
now have life and educational choices that they wouldn’t have had before. This
is about publicly acknowledging the contribution teachers have in lifting
overall student achievement and creating a place that makes a better education
possible.
Analysis
This article looks at rewarding those countries that have
put in the effort to improve the quality of education and who have made
progress. It also makes the point that though the teachers play a big part it
is not the teacher’s responsibility alone. The more that families and
communities, no matter the background or the circumstances, engage with their
children’s learning, the higher the chances are that they will receive a
successful education. This idea is universal. The world needs to expect more
from the students but also from the school systems making it unacceptable to
not receive a quality education. This article also looks at inequality. It
states that education is the most sustainable way to combat inequality. Why
wouldn’t you want to increase education to help create more equal and fair
environments in this world? The question that the Summit is asking this year is
how do we achieve excellence and equity across our national education systems
for all students and what are the steps that we can take to make this goal a
reality? We can see that the programs are working and that progress is being
made in the countries that are being recognized. The next step is putting these
programs on a global scale.
