This site has been set up as a result of our book 'The Global Assault on Teaching, Teachers and their Unions: Stories for Resistance.' Its aim is to inform teacher activists from all over the world about the struggles against the neoliberal assault that are happening elsewhere. Through the Forum we hope to allow teachers in struggle to call for and give solidarity and to exchange ideas for resisting the neoliberal assault in order to build a truly emancipated education system for all the world's children.
