In response to the pressing educational challenges
highlighted by the 2022 UN General Assembly, HP and Bett
embarked on a collaborative initiative to address these
issues head-on. Launching a series of Senior Leadership
Roundtables across the globe, we convened a broad and
diverse group of stakeholders. Our goal wasn’t just to
pinpoint solutions, but to commit to implementing them.
With a projected gap of 44 million teachers worldwide by
2030, retaining quality educators and ensuring equitable
education has remained at the forefront of our roundtable
discussions and was our title topic in 2024. This roundtable
notably incorporated input from students and educators,
enriching the dialogue with firsthand perspectives.
Recognising that the challenges faced by teachers extend
far beyond the classroom, the discussions underscored
the pivotal role technology can play in either exacerbating
or ameliorating their experiences. Getting it right will be
pivotal in stemming the loss of teachers everywhere.
Bett and HP remain steadfast in their commitment to
convening leaders from across the education ecosystem to
drive solutions, informed by and in collaboration with those
who are impacted most - teachers and students
“Addressing this crisis demands urgent and concerted
action, including investment in teacher training,
recruitment strategies and policies to improve retention
and equitable distribution of educators. The future
prosperity of nations hinges on our ability to bridge
this gap and ensure every child has access to the
transformative power of quality education.”
Charles Radman, Global Head of Education, HP
