Shameful decision by the Israeli authorities to deny @DrJoGrady @eduint access to the West Bank to celebrate the work of teachers in Palestine. Intimidation will not silence 🇬🇧 & 🌍 unions from standing in solidarity with our Palestinian sisters & brothers.

Jo Grady@DrJoGrady

I travelled on an @eduint trip to Palestine. But we never got there. We were detained for 5+ hours, grilled and refused entry by Israeli forces. It was intimidating and a violation of our rights. It is nothing compared to what Palestinians go through every day under occupation.

Education is the foundation of social progress. It is the engine of decent work & prosperity. It can support human rights & social justice for all. But only if we ensure no one is left behind. Only if we strengthen education systems for the future. un.org/sg/en/content/…

⭕️Fenapes@FenapesUruguay

Estuvo en Uruguay, David Edwards, secretario general de la @intEducacion, organización que representa a más de 33 millones de docentes en todo el mundo. Motivó esta visita su interés por saber cómo sigue la situación educativa en el país luego de la nefasta administración @RobertSilvaUy. Por otra parte, vino a respaldar a la Fenapes y toda la comunidad educativa, luego de proceso de persecución al que fuimos sometidos en el período pasado. Gracias David, siempre bienvenido.

On this 4th of July, a day that symbolizes freedom, independence, and democracy, we raise our voices to affirm that: 📚 Education is a fundamental human right, not a privilege. 🧑🏽‍🏫 Teachers and staff deserve respect, resources, and the freedom to teach truthfully. 🧒🏽 Students—especially the most vulnerable—deserve safe, inclusive, and well-funded schools. 🌍 Union solidarity knows no borders. #GoPublic4Solidarity #GoPublic #FundEducation @eduint
