The Business Mirror ran an article yesterday on a new report by UNESCO, which says that there's an acute shortage of teachers in the Asia Pacific region:
"With over 10 million teachers needed worldwide to reach the United Nations Millennium Development Goal target of reaching universal primary education by 2015, the Southeast Asia and Pacific region is facing a shortage.
With an estimated prospective shortage of more than 1.1 million teachers, it also faces the corollary problem of funding, recruiting and training this vast number, according to a new report released recently by the Institute for Statistics of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (Unesco)."
