The Education 2030 Agenda set out by Unesco and World Bank Group reaffirms that holistic teachers are the key to achieving inclusive and equitable quality education and lifelong learning for all.

Thus, teacher education and training require a cautious and watchful approach because the role of teachers in a child’s education has changed fundamentally. To this end, to have holistic education, there must be holistic teachers. Holistic education is a comprehensive approach to teaching where educators seek to address the emotional, social, ethical, and academic needs of students in an integrated learning format. Here, teachers often engage students in projects that apply critical-thinking skills towards solving real-world problems.
