Welcome, Teachers of the world

TeacherSolidarity: Teaching Unions. Teacher Strikes. Teacher Cuts.

Our aim is to bring together teacher activists internationally by recording the struggles such as teacher strikes of teaching unions and others against 'reforms' like teacher cuts which are standing in the way of truly creative and free education for the world's children. This site has been set up as a result of our book 'The Global Assault on Teaching, Teachers and their Unions: Stories for Resistance.''
