Menswear brand JACK&JONES and Bollywood superstar Ranveer Singh team up to break the rules of fashion with DON'T HOLD BACK 3.0
MUMBAI, India, October 6, 2022 — Assembling all the rule breakers and the rebels, the outsiders and the oddballs, the misfits and the mavericks, contemporary menswear brand JACK&JONES launches one of its most extensive campaigns of the year with fashion icon and Brand Ambassador Ranveer Singh.
The campaign is titled ‘DON’T HOLD BACK 3.0’ and celebrates undaunted authenticity and individuality. DON’T HOLD BACK 3.0 picks up from where it left off - channeling fashion as a means of self-expression.
According to JACK&JONES, it has always been at the forefront of high on-trend fashion. Kick-starting the festive season, the brand elevates its positioning further with a high-octane campaign film. The film opens in an everyday setting - a bunch of corporates and working professionals going about their daily routine, dressed as per the norms. Enter the protagonist Ranveer Singh who embodies the ‘Don’t Hold Back’ spirit - he stands for what he believes in, embraces his inner self, and encourages everyone around him not to hold back from their authentic self.
Styled in statement pieces from the latest collection by JACK&JONES, Ranveer completely transforms the setting from an ordinary day to an extraordinary extravaganza. Against the backdrop of an upbeat soundtrack that celebrates non-conformity and inspires an out-of-the-box attitude. The film showcases how anyone can transform a situation from drab to fab by just being their authentic and unique self and defining it as their path rather than following the one already created.
“I am extremely pumped to be back with JACK&JONES for Don’t Hold Back 3.0. This campaign has been exceptional as it has allowed me to showcase aspects of my personality that I truly enjoy while experimenting with fashion-forward styles from JACK&JONES. The brand ethos reflects my philosophy about my life as I strive to stay true to myself every day. I do not let anyone define me or hold me back, and this campaign is an extension of how I feel about life, which makes this an extraordinary one!” said Brand Ambassador Ranveer Singh.
JACK&JONES India currently has 127 stores and 547 shop-in-shops spread across the country.

World Teachers' Day: UNESCO alarms about the global teacher shortage crisis.
Paris, October 5, 2022 — On World Teachers’ Day, Audrey Azoulay, Director-general of UNESCO, called governments worldwide to step up their support for teachers, warning that the profession is struggling to retain its workforce and attract new talent. Worldwide, 69 million teachers are needed to reach universal primary education by 2030.
UNESCO’s estimates indicate the need for an additional 24.4 million teachers in primary education and some 44.4 million teachers for secondary education to achieve universal primary education by 2030.
New UNESCO figures unveiled for 2022 World Teachers’ Day show that, in sub-Saharan Africa, 5.4 million teachers are needed at the primary level and 11.1 million at the secondary level for achieving the targets set by the 2030 Agenda. Southern Asia is the region with the second largest deficit. Here UNESCO projects that 1.7 million additional teachers will be needed at the primary level and 5.3 million at the secondary level.
In low-income countries, the first obstacle is the heavy workload. According to new UNESCO data, each primary teacher in these countries has an average of 52 pupils per class at the primary level, while the global average is 26. The ratio is exceptionally high in sub-Saharan Africa - 56 pupils per teacher - and Southern Asia - 38. In Europe and North America, there are only 15 pupils per teacher on average.
A lack of training amplifies supervision difficulties. In addition, teachers do not always have all the tools at hand to succeed in the classroom. For example, UNESCO data shows that about 26% of primary and 39% of secondary school teachers do not have the minimum qualification requirements in low-income countries, compared to 14% and 16% globally.
Non-competitive salaries also accentuate the vocational crisis. UNESCO data shows that 6 out of 10 countries pay primary school teachers less than professionals with similar qualifications. This criterion is particularly evident in high-income countries. In 5 out of 6 countries in this group, primary school teachers earn less than other comparable professionals. Three high-income countries have a commendable teacher salary policy: Singapore, with an average salary of 139% of similar professions, Spain (125%), and the Republic of Korea (124%).
World Teachers’ Day is held annually on October 5 to celebrate all teachers around the globe. It commemorates the anniversary of adopting the 1966 ILO/UNESCO Recommendation concerning the Status of Teachers, which sets benchmarks regarding the rights and responsibilities of teachers, and standards for their initial preparation and further education, recruitment, employment, and teaching and learning conditions. In addition, the Recommendation concerning the Status of Higher-Education Teaching Personnel was adopted in 1997 to complement the 1966 Recommendation by covering teaching personnel in higher education.
