challenges with the shift to online and distant learning. Education unions are working swiftly through social dialogue processes to protect decent working conditions for all education workers, and especially the most vulnerable, including those working in private education institutions, early childhood educators, education support personnel and teaching staff on precarious contracts. Across all regions, as education transitioned to online platforms, the most typical union response is to provide training and support for members and students, and to share information. Education International has developed Guiding Principles on the Covid-19 Pandemic and the EI Executive Board adopted a Resolution on EI’s Response to the Covid-19 Pandemic. A digital hub has also been created on the EI website, containing news, updates and information about the actions taken by EI member organisations in response to the health emergency. At all times, but especially in the current climate of uncertainty, solidarity – among education workers, with their students and within their communities – remains the binding glue of the education union movement. This report shows that EI member organisations all over the world remain ready to promote the right to quality education for all, the rights of their members and the health and wellbeing of societies everywhere.
