Sub-theme: From Mandate to Practice: Implementing the 2025 Triennale and World Teachers’ Summit through the CESA 26-35 Framework.

Organised by: ADEA – Inter-Country Quality Node on Teaching and Learning (ICQN–TL) in partnership with RAWISE Rwanda

About the Webinar

Women teachers are central to Africa’s education systems, particularly in foundational learning, yet they remain underrepresented in leadership and decision-making roles. With the adoption of the Continental Education Strategy for Africa 2026–2035 (CESA 26–35), alongside the outcomes of the 2025 ADEA Triennale and the World Teachers’ Summit, there is an urgent need to move from commitments to concrete implementation.

This high-level webinar will position women teachers as key drivers of educational transformation, focusing on leadership, innovation, equity, and skills development. It will explore how education systems can better support women teachers as leaders in classrooms, schools, and across policy and reform processes, in alignment with CESA Strategic Areas on Teachers (SA2), Skills (SA3), and Gender, Equity and Inclusion (SA6).
