For the record: Country reports
We aim to ensure that all governments include education at the centre of their plans for economic recovery and that investments in education include teachers, not only school infrastructure. Our interactive maps tell the story so that teachers in every country can keep one another informed. Are you on the map? Tell us about the situation in your country, and we'll post it here.
Mapping the impact, seeking solutions

Asia
In many countries in Asia, the education sector has experienced significant budgetary cuts. In Japan teachers' salaries and allowances have been reduced in 2009, while in Mongolia their salaries has been frozen and will see further cuts in 2009. In Taiwan, the crisis has resulted in school closures and merges, increased privatisation of public schools and an overall reduction of assistance to schools in rural areas.
