Bangladesh Can Enhance Education Quality via Collaborative Teaching

Bangladesh has a unique chance to enhance its education quality and reinstate teaching as a noble, fulfilling, and sustainable career by embracing collaboration. This comes as the country joins the global celebration of World Teachers' Day on October 5, honouring educators and reflecting on their role in society. The theme for this year, 'Recasting teaching as a collaborative profession', underscores the need to reimagine how the teaching profession is structured, valued, and supported.

Traditionally, teaching has been seen as a solitary pursuit, with teachers working in isolation. This approach often hinders professional growth and support. However, collaboration can transform this landscape. It can help tackle systemic education challenges, foster innovation, and improve education quality. For instance, dedicated time for joint planning, incentivising collaborative innovation, and embedding peer learning into appraisal systems can enable collaboration.

Collaboration can also refine teaching methods, provide mentorship, and embed professional growth in school culture. It can act as a safeguard, sharing burdens and providing emotional support, thus strengthening the collective voice of educators. Schools should be redesigned as ecosystems of shared practice, with leaders modelling openness and valuing professional expertise.

Bangladesh can seize this opportunity to improve its education quality and reaffirm teaching as a noble profession. By embracing collaboration, it can address systemic challenges, foster innovation, and provide support to educators. This year's World Teachers' Day serves as a reminder of the importance of this shift and the potential it holds for the country's education system.
