A testimony to the power of female teachers

The World

As part of our week-long Teach Her series on women’s access to education worldwide, we’ve put a call out for lessons learned from female teachers.

We asked, “What’s the coolest or most useful lesson a female teacher has given you?

The responses we’ve gotten so far are almost as awesome as the women they honor. Check them out below, then submit your own via social media using the hashtag #TeachHer.

Will you support The World?

Without federal support, local stations, especially in rural and underserved areas, face deep cuts or even closure. Vital public service alerts, news, storytelling, and programming like The World will be impacted. The World has weathered many storms, and we remain steadfast in our commitment to being your trusted source for human-centered international news, shared with integrity and care. We believe public media is about truth and access for all. As an independent, nonprofit newsroom, we aren’t controlled by billionaire owners or corporations. We are sustained by listeners like you.

Now more than ever, we need your help to support our global reporting work and power the future of The World.
