Teacher Codes of Ethics: How to Account for an Ethical Culture in Schools

Shapira-Lishchinsky, O. , 2022

Abstract

With the adoption of the Sustainable Development Goal (SD4) 4, the international education community has taken a strong stand to ensure equitable quality education. In order to achieve this goal, countries should build up effective monitoring and accountability mechanisms, adapted to national priorities, in consultation with civil society.

But while most common strategies focus on national and international assessments and surveys (Global Education Monitoring Report, 2016) or government monitoring, reporting and evaluation policies, systems and tools (World Education Forum, 2015), I would like to suggest an additional approach focusing on accountability, based on the development of a code of ethics.
