A very powerful #WorldTeachersDay from Palestine, where teachers are working with 50% pay in solidarity with their community. Education International was there representing our solidarity and commitment to our colleagues, to education, to peace. First hand account from @daveswords.bsky.social ⬇️

🗨️The hardships they endure working with such dignity and commitment under occupation are a lesson for us all. I wanted to honor them and those we have lost in Gaza, but no words suffice for such a massive failure of humanity. Sometimes we just have to show up for each other. @daveswords.bsky.social

🗨️ I’m sure I will be processing this experience for a very long time, but already I know that I am forever changed and humbled by the privilege to be here amongst the brave, caring, generous, and resilient people of Palestine." @daveswords.bsky.social #WorldTeachersDay

Breaking: At #PACTED2025, Education International proposes an African Summit on the Teaching Profession. 🗨️ The mechanism of social dialogue must be institutionalized across Africa to translate the wisdom and insights of teachers and their unions into policy and practice. - @daveswords.bsky.social

🗨️ We would be honored to partner with the African Union for an Africa specific version of the International Summit on the Teaching Profession. - @daveswords.bsky.social at #PACTED2025

Fully agree with Jelmer’s take. A Europe that is silent about education amidst challenges that demand an educated citizenry on multiple fronts could very well lose its voice on the future. 👇

The teachers & students of Iran & Israel deserve peace, not endless war & death. Todays Israeli strikes against Evin prison, the place where the Iranian regime locks up its critics, including two French teachers, is beyond unconscionable. @eduinternational.bsky.social

Trump and Musk are attacking public education, social security, healthcare, and collective bargaining. On April 5, hundreds of thousands of people are taking to the streets! Join @aftunion.bsky.social members to say “Hands Off!” www.mobilize.us/handsoff/

When I saw this alert I first noticed it was April 1st and perhaps for a moment I allowed myself to hope it wasn’t true, but ineptitude and cruelty are the calling cards of this government. Not “unable”…they are “unwilling.” It all tracks.

🗨️ Trump and his sycophants are attempting to replace democracy with oligarchy. He aims to undermine workers’ rights and the right to education because he understands that resistance to his rule is born out of solidarity and critical thinking. @daveswords.bsky.social www.ei-ie.org/en/item/2965...

This, from Timothy Snyder, is definitive, on Greenland open.substack.com/pub/snyder/p...

www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025... Stanley recently wrote about a new Department of Education directive that said teaching about systemic racism and other topics could be grounds for a civil rights violation. Stanley said this order sets the country “on a path to educational authoritarianism”.

The majority of Americans don’t want the U.S. Department of Education dismantled. In places where school vouchers are on the ballot, they lose. People didn't vote for Trump's attack on education. Teachers, schools, and communities are standing up for the right to education. ✊🏾 We stand with them.

✊🏾 #Solidarity with educators across the U.S. who are rallying to defend their schools and their democracy. Education unions from all over the world will always stand together against tyrants to protect the right to education. @neatoday.bsky.social @neapresident.bsky.social @daveswords.bsky.social
