Education International
Asia-Pacific
Amid global challenges, we unite educators in advocating for trade union and human rights towards promoting our profession and ensuring quality education for all
Education is a right
—but it can only be guaranteed by proper public funding and resources.
Education should be equitable and inclusive. Thus, we promote the political, social and economic conditions needed to ensure the right to education in all nations. We advance and defend quality education for all, the status and rights of teachers and education support personnel, and their trade union rights and professional freedoms. We also build our collective capacity and strength to combat threats to publicly funded education and our democratic values.
Education is a right
—and educators like you need sufficient support and training in order to excel.
We promote the conditions of work, terms of employment, and professional freedoms of teachers and education employees. Moreover, we combat all forms of racism and of bias or discrimination in education and society. Our organisations have a right—and duty—to participate in the formulation and implementation of more progressive educational policies.
Education is a right
—and we must work together to realize its fullest potential across the world.
We promote and assist in the development of independent and democratic organisations of teachers and employees, particularly in countries where political, social, economic or other conditions impede the application of their human and trade union rights, the advancement of their terms and working conditions and the improvement of educational services. In developing our collective strength, we stand for peace, democracy, social justice and equality.
