Defines contract teachers as volunteers, community teachers, para-teachers and similar who, in general, have lower qualifications and lower salaries than corresponding teachers with civil servant status, and who typically work in remote rural areas or in post-conflict regions, serve ethnic minority populations, provide assistance to regular teachers, or in case of acute teacher shortage. Gives brief case studies from Bangladesh, Cambodia, China, Francophone Africa, India, Kenya, and Latin America. Recommends to phase out the use of contract teachers by 2015, in line with Education for All (EFA) quality goals.
