Half of all government-employed teachers in South Africa are aged 50 years or older, so the country will soon face a wave of teacher retirements. Replacing older teachers will be one of the biggest challenges facing the country, but it also offers the opportunity to renew the teaching workforce. The Teacher Demographic Dividend (TDD) project seeks to understand these challenges, and possible windows of opportunity created by this unprecedented demographic change.

FUNDERS

The Teacher Demographic Dividend project is supported by two funders: Allan & Gill Gray Philanthropies, and FEM Education Foundation.
