Group Submission Type: Refereed Round-Table Session
Opportunities for young women to progress towards productive livelihoods, including in teaching, are scarce in marginalised contexts. Similarly, career pathways for women teachers are often highly limited. But there is an acknowledged shortage of female teachers. The innovative approaches in this roundtable aim to empower female educators at different stages of the teacher lifecyle - recruitment, initial preparation, in-service professional development, in rural contexts in Afghanistan, Mozambique, and Sierra Leone. The purpose of this session is to provoke candid discussion on how to increase the number of qualified agentive female teachers and explore the implications of learning from these programmes for wider system change.
