Education International vehemently condemns the kidnapping of more than 300 students and teachers in #Nigeria and demands their immediate release!

Schools should be respected as safe sanctuaries and perpetrators must be held accountable!

📅 Very soon, 🇨🇱 Chile hosts the first #WorldTeachersSummit.

Valuing teachers, real social dialogue and fully funded public education can close the 44M gap and ensure every learner has a qualified, well-supported teacher.

It's time to #GoPublic ✏️ #FundEducation. Stay tuned!

What is populism? Who is drawn to it & why? How should we respond? I was pleased to keynote about these questions recently at the @CTFFCE AGM in Ottawa. @uOttawaEdu @TBastin @arceducation1 @eduint @rweingarten @joelwestheimer

[CTF/FCE @CTFFCE]

Key findings:

💬 “Teachers remain deeply committed to their students. But if we don’t address systemic issues …attrition rates will continue to rise, and students will suffer the greatest cost of government inaction.” – Clint Johnston, @CTFFCEpresident

The Spring 2025 survey underscores an ongoing crisis in teacher retention, while reaffirming that what keeps educators committed is clear: their students.

[Catholic Teachers @OECTAProv]

According to @CTFFCE’s latest Parachute survey results:

🏫 Nearly 1 in 2 educators have considered leaving the profession in the past year
😞 1 in 10 report they “never” feel valued
⚠️ Only 50% agree they have a safe working environment

💬 « Les enseignant·es restent très attachés à leurs élèves. Mais si on ne s’attaque pas aux problèmes de fond, [...] les taux d’attrition continueront d’augmenter, et les élèves seront les principales victimes de l’inaction du gouvernement. » — Clint Johnston, @CTFFCEpresident

Le sondage du printemps 2025 a permis de brosser un portrait représentatif à l’échelle du pays de la crise de rétention du personnel enseignant, tout en confirmant que les élèves restent au cœur de ce qui incite les enseignant·es à rester dans la profession.
