The reports also highlight the factors which make teachers more effective and satisfied in their work, create a positive attitude, increase motivation and improve pupils' success, as illustrated by the study of the education systems of various countries. They state that a comprehensive national policy for teachers backed by suffi-cient resources, the necessary political will and appropriate administrative skills is the most effective of all possible investments in education at the national level.The recommendations of the UNESCO International Task Force on Teachers for Education 2030 are reviewed. The UNESCO Teacher Policy Development Guide aims to foster professionalism and teaching excel-lence, including strategies for recruiting and training talented teachers. The Guide is intended to assist gov-ernmental institutions and structures responsible for education policy at the national level. The Guide aims to help educators and educational planners and policy-makers coordinate educational policies with national education sector plans and strategies. The Guide emphasises in particular that education policy should reflect the specifics of the country, but should also be based on the progressive experience of other countries and international organisations.
