About this listen
A silent global emergency is threatening the future of education: by 2030, the world will need 44 million additional teachers. The Teacher Crisis offers an urgent, evidence-based, and hopeful roadmap to reverse this trend. Drawing on UNESCO data, case studies from around the world, and proven strategies, Dr. Shu Chen Hou explores why teachers are leaving, why recruitment is failing, and how we can build sustainable solutions.
From sub-Saharan Africa’s overcrowded classrooms to North America’s STEM shortages, this book examines the unique challenges facing every region, revealing the systemic causes of teacher attrition—from low pay and poor working conditions to burnout and lack of professional respect. It then lays out practical, scalable approaches for recruiting, training, and retaining talented educators.
Packed with actionable recommendations for policymakers, school leaders, NGOs, and community advocates, The Teacher Crisis is both a call to action and a blueprint for change. If we act now, we can restore the prestige of teaching, ensure quality education for all, and secure a brighter future for the next generation.
