International Barometer on Education Staff
October 2023
The 2023 International Barometer on Education Staff (I-BEST) draws from the experience of over 26,000 teachers, school principals and education support personnel across 11 territories: Argentina, French-speaking Belgium, Cameroun, Canada, France, Japan, Morocco, Spain, Switzerland (Cantons of Vaud and Geneva), United Kingdom and Quebec.
The I-BEST is a collaborative effort, brought to life by key organizations, including the Education and Solidarity Network, Education International, and the UNESCO Chair Global Health & Education, all committed to elevating the well-being and status of education personnel worldwide. The second edition of I-BEST underscores the challenges education personnel face, from feeling undervalued to being overwhelmed, and underlines the urgent need to tackle these issues to ensure future of the teaching profession and thus guarantee the quality of education.
