Today we are in earthquake ravaged #hatayantakya visiting support offices and meeting with @egitimsen leaders here who are showing us the destruction of schools, hospitals and the massive current need for increased assistance. It is simply too much loss to comprehend and yet here they are supporting their community and setting up health and education services. @Refugees@UNICEFEducation@eduint@GPforEducation@EduCannotWait
Solidarity is in our DNA.
We are humbled by the amazing work, dedication, and commitment of the incredible human beings of @egitimsen who as they mourn they rebuild, they teach, they lead. #1u
“Destroyed buildings, damaged homes, separated families, children out of school. The feelings are unreal. But my teacher colleagues, unionists who are so dedicated to doing something where the government is failing, gives me hope.” @JohannaJAstrand @EgitimSen_Eng #1u#edchat
✊ Educators worldwide stand in full solidarity with workers striking today in Ontario/🇨🇦.
Their rights are being threatened by the provincial government.
We firmly reiterate that trade union rights are human rights.
@CUPEOntario@osbcucscso#39isnotenough#IStandWithCUPE
THIS. MUST. STOP. We call on the @UN and all member states to increase pressure and sanctions on this ruthless junta that targets teachers & schools. @eduint condemns this attack in the strongest possible terms. @ituc @UNHumanRights https://t.co/mUU9QvZtWD
🗨️ The starting point for governments should be that teachers and their unions are their partners. Our partnership can enable truly resistant quality education systems. Our partnership can be the transformation.

Money spent on my profession should not be seen as a cost but as the investment it is, says @JohannaJAstrand @eduint, we need 69 million new colleagues & the only way to address that is investing in the profession! #TransformingEducationSummit
🗨️ Individuals can be heroes but only a movement can transform the course of history. #TransformingEducation is possible only if we work together. We need to recognize teachers as agents of transformation.

“Education technology can – with the right political will – be deployed to enhance equity; to be a powerful new engine to realize SDG 4” but it must be credible, evidence-based and deployed with the involvement of teachers. @shopgood@eduint#TransformingEducation
“Millions of teachers have turned themselves into power users of various hardware and software in the last several years, (but) education technology at scale remains largely untested, unregulated and unproven.”
@shopgood#TransformingEducation
“90 percent of teachers want to prioritize climate change education, but less that 40% have the training, time or support from administers and governments to deliver it.” @JohannaJAstrand @eduint#TransformingEducationSummit
.@eduint is here at the #TransformingEducation Summit representing and amplifying the voice of the world’s educators about the transformational conditions required to deliver the change we need. @shopgood 👇
