This indicator reflects the proportion of educators in lower secondary schools who have undergone requisite formal training, whether through pre-service or in-service programs, to ensure they meet the educational standards established within their country. The percentage not only underscores the commitment to professional development but also highlights the quality of education students receive. A higher percentage of trained teachers often correlates with improved student outcomes, as they are equipped with effective teaching methodologies and a deeper understanding of subject matter. Moreover, this metric serves as a critical benchmark for policy-makers aiming to elevate educational standards, address teacher shortages, and allocate resources effectively within the education sector.
