BETT x HP WHITEPAPER

As the global education community, we need to act now to build better education, globally. Our latest whitepaper, crafted in collaboration with HP and written by FED, sheds light on the challenges facing education today and the power of collaboration in solving them. Download for free here.

A Global Blueprint for Teacher Retention

In response to the pressing educational challenges highlighted by the 2022 UN General Assembly, Bett and HP embarked on a collaborative initiative to address these issues head-on. Through a series of Senior Leadership roundtables in 2023, 2024 and 2025, we convened diverse groups of stakeholders committed not just to identifying solutions, but to implementing them.

Bridging the 44 million teacher gap
EdTech’s critical role in teacher recruitment and retention

The January 2025 roundtable in London marked a significant milestone in the journey. Building on insights from previous discussions, this gathering focused specifically on how the EdTech sector can support education systems and stakeholders in restoring dignity to teaching and ensuring the profession’s longevity. Participants were asked to make individualised pledges, ensuring these high-level discussions translate into measurable progress towards global education access.

Key findings:

  • Teaching has become increasingly isolated, with EdTech having significant potential to build professional communities.

  • Short-term, profit-driven solutions are often prioritised over sustainable approaches that genuinely support teachers

  •  Current investment models (typically 3-5 years) don’t align with education’s long-term needs. 

  • Basic infrastructure remains a fundamental barrier to effective EdTech implementation globally. 

  • Technology must augment, not replace, teachers’ unique pedagogical expertise and human connections.

  • “I am proud to present this whitepaper as a call to action for policymakers, EdTech leaders, and educators alike. To build a future where teachers feel valued, supported, and connected. Let’s ensure innovation uplifts the people who make learning possible”
