General Secretary of Education International - the Global Union Voice and Force for Education which unites more than 33 million educators around the world.
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.

๐จ๏ธThe 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.

๐จ๏ธ Iโm 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

Fully agree with Jelmerโs 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. ๐

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
