Summary:

"Teachers in the Global South struggle with psychological wellbeing, teacher professional development and identity, as well as political issues, which pose another barrier to teacher wellbeing. Prioritising their well-being, development and professional identity helps ensure school and student academic success and learning performance in the future. Initiatives such as effective policies, programmes, training, and interventions to help teachers overcome their challenges are little known in the developing world, and teachers’ voices on the challenges and difficulties they face are predictably not heard. Compared to the Global North, there is a lack of research and studies on teacher wellbeing, development and professional identity in the Global South. This book focuses on teacher well-being, development, and policy across the world, specifically in the Global South. It conveys educators' and practitioners' contributions through research and knowledge sharing to amplify teachers’ voices on the pressing issues, problems, and challenges facing teachers in the Global South. It also advocates practical solutions and recommendations for teachers and governments in the Global South, using empirical and non-empirical evidence to address the challenges. This book serves as a useful reference for academicians, school principals, teachers, managers, higher institution leaders, policymakers, psychologists, education ministries, and postgraduate students"-- Springer Nature Link
