United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation and International Labour Organisation's recommendation concerning the Status of Teachers (1966) and Unesco's recommendation concerning the Status of Higher Education Teaching Personnel (1997) observed that access to, equity in, and the quality of education greatly depend on governments’ funding of continuous teacher training and updating teaching and pedagogical skills.
