In classrooms throughout the world, dedicated and principled teachers are helping to cultivate thoughtful, empathetic, and self-confident citizens. All too often, teachers are doing this in the face of government-backed censorship—and even violence—on the one hand, and declining wages on the other. Because we know that supporting teachers today helps secure democratic and open societies for tomorrow, Open Society is committed to not only supporting educators, but working to make sure that the environment outside the classroom respects and honors their essential contributions.
