World Teachers' Day!

World Teachers' Day is celebrated by UNESCO and Education International every year on 5th October (www.5oct.org). This year's theme is Teachers for Gender Equality and promotes gender equality in access to education as well as between male and female teachers.

Today in the Library foyer we have a display with information from UNESCO, the Gender Equality in Education Policy Forum, and Ireland-specific statistics from the 2007 Sé Sí report. We also draw your attention to resources available in the Library that address issues of gender balance and imbalance in the context of education.  

Pop up and have a look!
