Valuing Teachers research into what motivates teachers, what affects their morale, and what will help them perform well, has been conducted in 14 countries. These reports give voice to teachers’ views about changes in educational policies that affect their work, their professional identity and their motivation (www.vsointernational.org/valuingteachers)

A recent initiative by the World Bank, ‘Tertiary Education at a Crossroads’, was launched in the summer of 2013, aiming to promote reflection on issues and trends and the role in eliminating extreme poverty. However, it is not yet clear how and whether this might feed into the post-2015 discussions.
