WTF does technologically agnostic actually even mean??? 🤷🏽‍♂️

Against a backdrop of growing #teachershortages the National Teachers’ Association (NTA) of Taiwan is calling for real change… better pay and improved working conditions. Only then can Taiwan ensure high-quality education for every student. #GoPublic #FundEducation www.ei-ie.org/en/item/3167...

The Libs are counting on the idea that they just need to bombard Australians with enough propaganda suggesting renewables cause high power prices, then they can retake power. Things are going to get pretty nasty I suspect.

“For nearly three weeks, we have heard by-the-minute news about the retrieval of Israeli bodies in Gaza. Where is the outrage, the coverage even, of the mutilated Palestinian bodies, with crushed legs and gunshot wounds to the head, that the Israelis finally released” 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 zeteo.com/p/israel-ret...

Really interesting piece about the infrastructure of education and what AI companies are doing to it: “While private sector influence in public education has a long history, it is now taking the form of infrastructural penetration from below.”

“We face a dramatic teacher shortage — an estimated 44 million worldwide. Education can be an engine of transformation for societies and economies. But only if we can repair the cracks in this vital foundation, and strengthen ed systems for the future.” António Guterres www.un.org/sg/en/conten...

Education unions in Cape Verde have intensified their advocacy aimed at strengthening public education and improving teacher salaries and working conditions. #GoPublic #FundEducation www.ei-ie.org/en/item/3163...

It's not rocket science! In Australia and worldwide, paying teachers decent salaries and investing in public education greatly reduce teacher shortages. That's why education unions around the 🌏 say 📢 #GoPublic #FundEducation eiie.io/48ZfJJX

“In NSW they tried something groundbreaking when they increased teachers’s salaries quite a bit. Inexplicably teacher shortages dropped by 60%” Who woulda thunk???? www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

It’s gonna trickle down tho - I can feel it…

✊🏽✊🏾✊🏻 When we fight, we win! Huge congratulations to our colleagues at the Federation of Mongolian Education and Science Unions!

OMG, the Nationals' stance on renewable energy makes them a laughing stock. That's if you get your laughs from an idiotic cult of climate deniers, fools and grifters. Like the Ouroboros... the mythical snake that eats itself in a death spiral.

We're doing a European wide study on the state of play, policies, union responses and we're working on exchanging and building best practices and capacity. We'll publish more soon. etuce.org/en/news/etuc...

Fentanyl and coke are the new “weapons of mass destruction” lie. It’s Iraq all over again, folks. It’s always about controlling the oil.

“Even after having released almost 2,000 people last week, the Israeli military is still holding about 9,000 Palestinians,” says Israeli American human rights lawyer Sari Bashi. “Only about a thousand of them have actually been convicted of any crime."

#Teachershortages continue to impede education progress across... [Africa]. 44 million new teachers are needed to achieve SDG 4 by 2030, 15 million of them in Sub-Saharan Africa alone. The root cause is insufficient investment” #GoPublic #investinteachers www.ei-ie.org/en/item/3157...

“You can’t be ‘objective’ about fascism. You can’t be ‘objective’ about genocide. You can’t be ‘objective’ about whether people have the right to live. You can’t be ‘objective’ about the climate crisis.” @amyremeikis.bsky.social 👇🏼 www.deepcutnews.com/p/australian...

“We have been amazing allies” says Trump as our sovereignty goes down the drain and we capitulate to militarism, US hegemony and containment of China. We will inevitably be dragged into a war with our most important trading partner. A sad, dangerous day not a diplomatic triumph!

With 97% of schools destroyed or damaged, 600,000 children have just begun their third year out of formal education.” www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

🤦🏻‍♂️ There must be a medical explanation for this madness.

South Korea pushed AI hard in schools. The national program was aborted within months, following massive pushback from students, parents and teachers, after a fortune had already been spent by both the government and education publishers restofworld.org/2025/south-k...

🤯 Can teachers be forced to make an "AI" avatar of themselves? Why is the government allowing this mass experimentation on children and teachers by a private entity? Is there any oversight whatsoever? Were teachers, students and parents part of the decision making process? @neunion.bsky.social

Welcome home. My @smh @theage cartoon.

In Asia-Pacific and around the world, growing pressures on democratic institutions and shrinking civic space go along with increasing attacks on the autonomy of educators and researchers. Education unions are leading the resistance. Defending academic freedom and democracy are top priorities.

Yeah, the Nobel Peace Prize recipient is not all that great. Not being Trump doesn’t make you good. johnmenadue.com/post/2025/10...

463 people including 157 children have been starved to death!!! Starvation as a weapon of war is a war crime, a crime against humanity, an act of #genocide

Dear ABC News, Why do you refer to Israeli hostages yet Palestinian prisoners? The word prisoner implies they've committed a crime. Yet you know almost all of the Palestinians were held w/o charge, trial or conviction. Words matter. Hostages on both sides. #Israel #Palestine #JournalismMatters

“From 1898 to 1994, the US successfully ousted a Latin American government at least 41 times. While US security interests may have often been cited as justification, economic interests often prevailed.” www.aljazeera.com/gallery/2025...

World's media today will be full of emotive stories about the release of ~20 Israeli hostages held by HAMAS for 2 years. There will be no similar stories about the ~2000 Palestinian hostages to be released by Israel, many imprisoned for much longer. Racist, much? That's x100 racist.

IF THIS IS NOT HOSTAGE TAKING, WHAT IS? Israel refuses to release Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya who insisted on staying with his patients in his bombed hospital even after his own son was murdered. Since then he has been held in one of Israel's torture facilities.

Mongolia: The public has shown strong support for teachers’ demands, urging the government to prioritize investment in teachers and the education sector. #GoPublic #FundEducation #investinteachets www.ei-ie.org/en/item/3150...

I was a skeptic about the import of the Epstein files. But 3 invasions of cities, one military buildup outside Venezuela, a government shutdown, and so many other things meant to distract have me convinced whatever’s in there is the biggest presidential scandal in U.S. history.

"Why would OpenAI and Microsoft spend $23 million to give 'free training' on how to use AI to teachers? Because they love teachers? No. Because they want to get their products into public schools in an attempt to cultivate the education market. ... To automate teachers, in other words."

“We know what works. Governments must invest in the teaching profession—through competitive salaries, manageable workloads, fully funded professional development, and secure employment.” @daveswords.bsky.social #GoPublic #FundEducation #investinteachers www.ei-ie.org/en/item/3145...

“There is a real threat to education. Many qualified teachers are changing their profession and joining other highly paid sectors. The future of Mongolia’s education is at risk. We MUST act!” #GoPublic #investinteachers @eduinternational.bsky.social www.ei-ie.org/en/item/3145...

Nowhere is this year’s theme for #worldteachersday “together for teachers, together for tomorrow” more fitting than in Palestine. A deliberate act of solidarity by @eduinternational.bsky.social to mark this day in Palestine with members of the General Union of Palestinian Teachers. 👇🏼
