Thank you to the colleagues in the Arab region for the warm welcome. I want you to know that our call for quality public education is inseparable from our call for peace. We stand with you for peace.

Today, Linda McMahon: ❌ Pledged to dismantle the U.S. Dept. of Education, and ❌ Promised to support vouchers, stripping resources from 90% of U.S. students.   Our students deserve an education secretary who will fight for them, not gut public schools to pay for tax cuts for billionaires.

📢 Today, educators gathered at the U.S. Capitol with a clear message: We won’t stay silent while our students, educators, & public schools are under attack. Invest in education—not dismantle it. Demand we put students before billionaires. Take action: ⬇️ www.nea.org/advocating-f...

We from Education International stand in solidarity with our colleagues and students in the USA because together we will defend the future of public education In the hands of a teacher lies the power to inspire, to challenge, and to transform lives.

The Trump Administration is now threatening to withhold funding from schools that teach the whole history of America. This executive order is unnecessary and punitive. It does nothing to help educators inspire their students to learn and to give them the resources needed to succeed.

"When people come for our kids, our professions, and our communities, we fight like hell." Trump's reckless attacks on public schools and working families won't go unanswered. NEA members are organizing, mobilizing, and demanding action. Read the full story here: bit.ly/4hESrtX

As educators, we have accepted the sacred responsibility to protect students—every single student, regardless of their immigration status—and to protect families and communities. We have a professional and moral responsibility to keep our students safe.

Trump's unwarranted attacks on DEI in K-12 schools and beyond jeopardize students' freedom to learn and educators' ability to teach truth. These programs are essential to ensuring equity and opportunity for every student. We must protect truth in education and the future of our public schools.
