Since the Dakar Forum in 2000, tangible progress has been made towards the achievement of the EFA goals particularly with regard to Universal Primary Education (UPE). However, the rapid expansion of primary education intake of school-age children has not been matched by commensurate teacher recruitment. On the other hand, many children are completing primary education and are also knocking on the doors of secondary education. In this context, there has been a growing realization of the urgent need to address the teacher gap for EFA.

The International Task Force on Teachers for EFA (TFAS) is the first dedicated international alliance of stakeholders, including national governments, intergovernmental organizations, NGOs,  CSOs, international development agencies and private sector organizations working together to address the teacher gap to meet Education For All (EFA) goals.
