In 2003, just over half of Ontario's students were meeting expected learning standards. A decade later, that number had climbed to 72%, and graduation rates had jumped from 68% to 84%. The change didn't come from bigger budgets or more standardized tests — it came from putting teachers at the center of transformation. Mary Jean Gallagher led that journey across 5,000 Canadian schools, and her message is clear: education systems that invest in supporting, developing, and trusting their teachers produce lasting results. In this episode, Gallagher breaks down what it truly means to back your teachers — and what Suriname can take from the Ontario experience to build its own path forward. #IDB #Improvinglives #IDBImpact+ #InvestingTodayTransformingTomorrow #SurinameEducation #HumanCapital At the Inter-American Development Bank we work to improve lives in Latin America and the Caribbean. http://www.iadb.org
